Accessibility at Nanaimo Ladysmith Public Schools

This fall, the district created an Accessibility Committee for the purpose of exploring accessibility needs across the system, with a goal of developing a long-term plan to address these concerns. As the next step, the committee is seeking feedback that allow us to better understand the needs of individuals who may be impacted by a disability that impacts their ability to participate fully and equitably in the opportunities and environments in schools.

An Accessibility survey has been developed to gather information from children, families and staff who either have a disability, or support an individual with a disability.
