Voices from the Edge: Accessing and Coordinating Alternative and Ancillary Services for Students with Special Needs

Description
The Voices from the Edge Summer/Fall Institute is designed to encourage student inquiry into the diverse theoretical frameworks and common practices found in alternative and ancillary services designed for students with a broad spectrum of special needs. Issues in service delivery and the co-ordination of services between school, divisional, and community-based provisions and programs, especially as they relate to developing communications and liaison, accessing and providing appropriate services, and assessing service outcomes, will be explored. Approaches that promote inclusion for children and youth with disabilities and diversity characteristics will be explored and critiqued.
