Minister’s Response to the Review Committee Report and Recommendations
The Department of Education will develop a new strategy to provide
enriched programming to students with learning disabilities.
The Department of Education will hire a learning disabilities consultant,
who will review the latest research and best practices from around
the world related to learning disabilities, and work closely with
specialists inside and outside the department.
The initiatives were recommended by the Minister's Review of Services
for Students with Special Needs. Education Minister Karen Casey released
her response to the report today, Dec. 21.
"We are committed to providing appropriate programming designed
to meet the needs of all students," Ms. Casey said.
"These initiatives are about understanding
the needs of students with learning disabilities
and developing strategies that respond to these
needs."
Students with learning disabilities make up the
largest group of pupils receiving student support services from school
boards.
