SEA CLAIMS

A SEA Claim is special equipment from the Ministry of Education intended to support qualifying students with an IEP. 

Typical SEA Claims are Chromebook, the same as the 1:1 device offered to all incoming students.

The goal of special equipment is to allow students to integrate assistive technology as an effective teaching/learning tool in the classroom and build capacity among in-school staff to share best practices. 

Students' SEA claim technology will be distributed at the beginning of the school year and collected at the end, unless you have proof you need it for a summer course.

 If your child has a SEA claim and you have any questions or concerns about the equipment, please contact Amanda Kearney in the Academic Resource Centre. 

If your child has received specialized equipment, there is ongoing professional learning provided throughout the year. This can include: 

● Sessions on assistive technology, including Ministry licensed software (for staff and parents) 

● Online web casts 

● Newsletters featuring information on resources and projects 

● Numerous printed resources and videos available online for staff and parent(s)/guardian(s)
