Join us the second Tuesday of each month (note date changes around holidays) as we answer your questions and provide information and resources aimed at supporting your learner’s needs. Each month will have a specific focus and will be hosted by APSEA staff with the knowledge and/or lived experience to guide a discussion around that month’s topic. Who knows where the conversations will take us, though, so log in each month. You never know what you might learn or the connections you might make!
Facilitators: Sessions will be hosted by various members of our APSEA team and may include invited guests

Our In-Focus session this month is designed for all parents and guardians of students who are blind or low vision. This 1-hour session provides guidance on how APSEA supports students with the transition from high school to adulthood. Families will learn about the Expanded Core Curriculum (ECC), strategies to foster independence and self-advocacy, employment pathways, and the adult services available across Atlantic Canada. We will also be joined by Vision Loss Rehabilitation (VLR) representatives from across the Atlantic provinces, who will share information about the supports available to students as they move into adulthood.
