To meet the needs of students with special needs, schools like the CHEO School — that provide vital health-care services as part of a child’s school day — will resume in-person learning starting Wednesday, January 5. The CHEO School provides supports including Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy and Speech-Language Pathology as part of our student’s school day — these supports are essential for their life-long development and while some of these services can be delivered virtually, many need to be delivered in-person.
CHEO Preschool resumes in-person on Tuesday, January 4 for the same reasons.
Critical classroom supports offered as part of the CHEO Autism Program will resume in-person on January 4.
Schooling for CHEO mental health patients through Section 23 McHugh will be offered virtually for next two weeks, as directed by the provincial government.
For more information, please contact each program directly.
