Getting to know special education programs and services Children develop and learn at different rates. Some children have difficulty learning to read and write and need the assistance of a special education program. Others learn more easily and require program extensions or more challenging curriculum. Many children who require a special education program remain in the regular classroom. They are provided with support such as program accommodations, assistance from the in-school support program teacher or itinerant teacher.
Some children do better in a special education contained class.
There is no one way to deliver special education programs, and there is no one way to address a particular disability. The Peel board offers a range of special education programs and services designed to meet a wide range of individual children's needs. Recognizing differences You, your child and your school are partners in the learning process. This partnership is the key to determining a suitable program for your child. As a parent, you know your child best.
