As part of an ongoing effort to communicate information to our parents and stakeholders, the Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board is proud to release a new DVD entitled "Did You Know?" as part of the Parents Reaching Out Regional Grant Initiative in conjunction with Ensemble.
The goals and objectives of the DVD project were:
To create an increased level of sensitivity in schools about the impact of having a child with a disability and/or special education need.
To produce a video to be used as a training tool to assist teachers, support staff and administrators in recognizing the stresses, hurdles, challenges and issues that families encounter throughout their child's life.
Through personal stories from families, the video explains a family’s perspective on the importance of friendship and social contact with peers for their sons and daughters.
To inspire teachers, support staff and administrators to facilitate friendships among all students to encourage long term relationships and friendships among peers.
To strengthen the relationship, including communication and trust between parents and school/Board staff.
