Concerns About My Child
You or your child’s teacher may identify that your child is having difficulty with learning activities. Your child’s teacher(s) may contact you to discuss their findings or you may reach out to the teacher(s) and principal with concerns you may have about your child. You may choose to involve a friend, family member or advocate at any time, and with your permission, school staff can communicate with them as well.
Once the concerns have been identified and discussed, the steps in the referral process are followed.
Steps in the Referral Process
● Development of an Individual Learning Plan (ILP);
● In-School Team (IST) meetings with school-based staff;
● School Support Team (SST) meetings with school-based-staff, Special Education and Inclusion and/or Professional Support Services staff;
● Identification, Placement and Review Committee (IPRC).
