Disability Inclusion at Concord School

Concord School has introduced the Disability Inclusion reform.

Disability Inclusion will help our school continue to understand what our students need to help them learn and participate. It involves:

• a new Disability Inclusion Profile and school funding model to strengthen support for students with disability.
• more resources, training and coaching for our teachers and school staff about the best ways to support students with disability. 

The Disability Inclusion Profile will help us identify the strengths, needs, and adjustments we can make to assist students’ learning, participation, and engagement at school. 

The Disability Inclusion Profile replaces the Program for Students with Disabilities (PSD) application process.

This year and over the coming years, we will invite families of students who are currently part of the PSD to participate in a meeting to complete a Disability Inclusion Profile. 

We will use school funding and supports provided through Disability Inclusion for more training and professional development for teachers and school staff, expert advice about disability and resources to support learning.

Concord School is excited to be part of Disability Inclusion and we look forward to continuing to support our students to learn and thrive. Click here to go to a Department of Education page and watch a short video about Disability Inclusion.
