Hi there,
While trying to make sense of everything to do with special education and behaviours I’ve done a lot of internet surfing and here are a few links you might find very useful.
The italics are my notes about each link to help you cull the right link for your research.
http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/policyfunding/speced.html
If you are teaching in Ontario, you need to look at this link. It is useful and will give you the correct “terminology” from the Ministry of Education. Good links and access but it is the similar page as the Teacher link. The search function is pretty broad in nature…..a problem if you want to target just one thing.
http://scdsb.on.ca/programs-services/special-education/ This is the link from my school board. Informative and accessible. If you haven’t checked your board of education, you should do so ASAP.
http://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/se/ During my time at an American teacher’s college, we researched how each state responded to the challenges of federal budgets and the frequent changes to the educational landscape. The state of California was always a leader because of their geography (millions of people in the state and millions more wanting to go to the U.S. via California from Mexico); and how 2nd language and special education programming was funded and delivered. I found that the challenges in California usually spread north and eastward. To that end, looking at what they are doing always helped me to see what was coming next!
