Intensive Support Program (ISP) – Students with Physical Disabilities

Students within the ISP program receive an individualized educational program designed to foster participation and independence through the development of academics and life skills. The completion of a high school diploma is created based on the individual student’s physical as well as academic needs. Students are able to integrate into the regular classroom for part or all subjects; in addition, we offer small class placements based on the individual needs of students.

The Special Education Department has a highly structured team of Special Education Resource Teachers (SERT’s) and Educational Assistants (EA’s) dedicated to help support the academic and physical needs of students. Many students within the ISP program take course loads that will enable them to obtain their Ontario Secondary School Diploma within 5 years.

To qualify for a placement within the ISP program, students must be formally identified with a physical disability exceptionality through the Identification, Placement and Review Committee (IPRC) process.
