The demonstration schools, Amethyst, Sagonaska and Trillium, provide a one-year placement program for students diagnosed with a severe learning disability and resource support and consultation services for English district school boards to build capacity in teaching students with learning disabilities.
The demonstration school placement is a high intensity reading and writing intervention program where students are provided the classroom support needed to foster their success. All students are taught using the Empower reading program developed by the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids). Intervention programs in mathematics are also provided in the elementary and secondary panels based on student needs.
