Back to School with ADHD and COVID Uncertainty (Again) 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.
