Creating a smooth transition and reduce anxiety.

The Ministry of Education, boards, schools, and Faculties of Education responsible for teacher education should ensure that teachers are thoroughly and effectively trained on how to teach students with disabilities.

Do you agree?

Make sure you have your say on accessibility standards for K-12 education. This is a once in a lifetime to influence the development of accessibility standard for students with ADHD.

YOUR OPPORUNTIY: Read the initial report from the K-12 Education Standards Development Committee to the Ontario Ministry and email your ideas on them! ADHD is not recognized as a significant learning risk, making your feedback as critical as ever.

Not sure what to say? We’ve drafted some messaging for you to use if you wish.

Please share this post to help us reach families all across Ontario!

Can you imagine having to advocate so hard for your child to get a diagnosis, and and IEP only to be told that it means nothing? If ADHD was recognized a significant learning risk, educators would have to be taught more about it and honour the supports these brilliant minds need to thrive!

Thanks to our community for sharing their stories. It shows need this campaign truly is!

That's why we need you to ask your local ministries to recognize ADHD as a significant learning risk. Tweet or email them with the templates available on our website, https://caddac.ca/2020/12/15/adhd-right-to-learn-online-advocacy-campaign/.

Photo Caption: "I was told by the superintendent that an iep means nothing. No different then every other child. so basically just a pc of paper that says he’s a ‘bad’ kid, in other words: he’s labeled."
