York Region District School Board’s planning, program development and service delivery processes have a strong tradition of including students with special education needs as an integral part of our culture. This tradition is based on a belief that every student can learn and succeed with appropriate accommodations and modifications that address individual strengths and needs.
Vision for Special Education:
All students will flourish through empowering and affirming experiences both within and beyond learning environments.
