Every student learns differently. Exceptionalities are identified learning, behavioural, communication, intellectual, or physical needs that may affect how a student learns and participates in school.
Having an exceptionality does not define a student's abilities or potential. With the right supports, accommodations, and opportunities, students can build on their strengths, overcome challenges, and achieve success. This page provides information about different exceptionalities and the supports available.
