Atlantic Provinces Special Education Authority’s (APSEA) mission in collaboration with our partners, is to provide culturally and linguistically responsive, inclusive, equitable, and accessible educational services and supports to children and youth who are blind or visually impaired and/or Deaf or hard of hearing and their families.
Accessibility is integral to all that APSEA does to support learners and team members. Actioning accessibility is at the core of our operations, and we strive to provide optimal learning and employment solutions that build an accessible culture. APSEA’s specialized supports aim to ensure learners have the tools they need to be successful. By providing equitable access we empower individuals to achieve their full potential.
APSEA has developed a three-year Accessibility Plan to enhance the work of the province of Nova Scotia’s Accessibility Act initiative Access by Design 2030, which is a framework for how the province will achieve its goal of an accessible Nova Scotia by 2030. I look forward to APSEA’s role in helping Nova Scotia achieve this, as it will have a direct benefit in the lives of individuals we support. Our Accessibility Plan will evolve and grow over the next few years, and our mission will guide us on this journey.
