Accommodating Children with Disabilities


Wednesday, October 20, 2021 at 6:30 PM - 8 PM EDT

The Ontario Human Rights Commission released a new policy on “Accessible Education for Students with Disabilities” on August 29, 2018 regarding accessible education for children with disabilities. Under the Code, education providers including child cares, private and public organizations have a legal duty to accommodate the needs of students with disabilities to the point of undue hardship.

This training session will discuss what these legal obligations mean for child care organizations including:

  • • Duty to accommodate
  • • What constitutes a disability?
  • • When is the duty to accommodate triggered?
  • • How to deal with challenging behaviours
  • • Dealing with difficult parents
