I’m sorry - that’s so disappointing. 😔 It’s the trustees’ JOB to advocate for families and help you navigate & resolve issues with school. We’ve been fortunate to have a committed Trustee for my kid’s school (a previous one was useless though).

Not sure anything could be done since the system itself isn't neuro-affirming. Training & policies have to change drastically. School kept placing neurotypical expectations on him so he was forced to mask which led to burnout One time the VP told me his meltdown "inconvenienced" the other students

Until ON schools become trauma-informed & neuro-affirming, autistic & ND students will struggle. No matter how many staff there are As long as seclusion & restraint are permitted, and guidelines/policies are based on outdated behaviourist methods, students aren't safe 1/2 #OntEd #ONpoli #autism

SO MUCH needs to change. It's beyond just putting more money in. Need a paradigm shift Schools were not set up for inclusion long before Ford Training, class sizes, policies, guidelines, ATTITUDES, etc all have to change The SYSTEM needs a drastic overhaul 2/2 #OntEd #ONpoli #autism
