Accessibility

​​​​Accessibility in the HDSB

At the Halton District School Board, we are committed to providing a learning and working environment that supports all students and staff and provides equitable opportunities to support our diverse community. A key element to supporting our community is the HDSB Multi-Year Accessibility Plan​ which identifies system needs and priorities and embeds legislation within our policies, procedures and training needs. The Plan draws feedback from our Special Education Advisory Committee and the work of the Accessibility Coordinating Committee to enhance equity of access to programming and our facilities.

​​Policy Statement

We believe in integration, and we are committed to meeting the needs of people with disabilities in a timely manner. We will do so by removing and preventing barriers to accessibility and by meeting our accessibility requirements under Ontario’s accessibility laws.
