Standard 11

Provincial and Demonstration Schools in Ontario

The purpose of the standard is to provide the public with information about the Provincial and Demonstration Schools that are operated for students who are deaf, blind, or deaf-blind, or who have severe learning disabilities, which may include attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

The Ministry of Education operates provincial and demonstration schools throughout Ontario to provide education for students who are deaf, blind, deaf-blind or have severe learning disabilities, including those with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Residential programs are available Monday to Friday to students who live too far away to travel daily. Admittance to a Provincial School is determined by the Provincial Schools Admission Committee in accordance with the requirements in Regulation 296. Transportation is provided for students, to and from Provincial and Demonstration Schools.

Other resource supports include:

Preschool services for deaf, blind, and deaf-blind children are available during home visiting services.
Learning materials and media for students who are deaf, blind, or deaf-blind
Professional learning opportunities for board staff
Vision – Orientation and Mobility supports
