At the Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board, our Each Belongs philosophy reflects a deep commitment to recognizing the dignity and gifts of every student. In partnership with families, staff, and community organizations, we work to ensure that all children and youth feel welcomed, supported, and included in our Catholic school communities.
To further support families of autistic children and youth, Autism Ontario has launched a School Resource Collection designed to help students thrive at school: AOBackToSchool.
In addition, Autism Ontario is offering a three-part webinar series to help parents and caregivers navigate the special education system in Ontario.
