BC has released new Inclusive Education Funding Allocation Category Checklists for 2026. What could these changes mean for your child?

The new checklists include important changes affecting IEPs, documentation, services and Category G autism identification, with several expectations now made more explicit.

What should you ask at an IEP meeting? How are diagnosis, designation, funding, accommodations, and actual services connected—and where do they differ?

Like the families we support we are trying to process and understand the upcoming changes to disability funding in BC. Here is a post from Salish Sea Behaviour Consulting that outlines what we know so far.

Edwin S Richards – Stronger Together: Building Parent Networks for Student Success

Parents of students with diverse needs face unique challenges in understanding educational processes, managing emotional stress, and coordinating care across school and community systems. While students with special needs receive IEP’s to support and guide their learning, it can be a challenge for parents to navigate the system and understand how their children are supported in school. A new program at ESR, ‘Stronger Together’, will consist of a series of expert-led sessions that we hope will be informative, allow parents of students with similar needs to connect, and build a stronger home-school partnership.
