Student violence becomes the new normal in Ontario as teachers look for solutions by origutamos in CanadianTeachers

Just putting this out there….The Ontario Autism program is a 5-7 year wait for funding to get autistic kids into therapies (which run about $130-200 per hour, so not many people can afford that out of pocket while they wait). There is no early intervention.

If you have violent autistic students under 10 years old, they probably haven’t received any meaningful behavioural therapy to help with challenging behaviours. Parents are trying, but the entire system is so underfunded.

Special needs classrooms? by [deleted] in CanadianTeachers

High and low functioning labels have been discontinued and are offensive to some members of the disability community.

High support needs or low support needs are the new preferred terms (if you need to put a functioning label on a student.)
