MEETING SPECIAL NEEDS<br />
The Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Clarington <strong>Catholic</strong> <strong>District</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />
<strong>Board</strong> is fully committed to meeting the needs of exceptional students. The <strong>Board</strong><br />
believes that special needs students and their classmates benefit equally from<br />
policies promoting integration.<br />
<strong>Board</strong> policies concerning special needs students are designed to promote<br />
acceptance, enhance self-esteem, encourage mutual support and understanding,<br />
and increase interactive skills. Our school communities foster a sense of belonging,<br />
create a welcoming environment for all, and promote a sense of responsibility<br />
towards others.<br />
EARLY IDENTIFICATION OF CHILDREN’S LEARNING NEEDS<br />
Purpose<br />
The purpose of Early Identification is to provide an opportunity for the teacher to<br />
identify the learning needs of each child and to develop an educational<br />
environment that will meet those needs. By sharing information, the parents,<br />
teacher, principal and resource personnel gain a better understanding of each<br />
child’s capabilities and are better able to establish realistic expectations for<br />
each child.<br />
