Most students in Ontario will graduate from school and will launch their lives. They’ll find employment, a network of friends, their own home and community. As educators and parents, we spend our days preparing the young people in our lives for that life. You might even refer to it as “the good life.”
For students who have a disability, the good life is not out of reach. However, it does require a considerable effort from family, friends, teachers, and other community members to make it possible.
So how do we help our kids thrive today while also planning for their future?
