Volunteers on SEAC provide important advice on special education to school boards
The Easter Seals Ontario Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC) Program proudly supports volunteers across Ontario in advocating for the needs of students with physical disabilities. Volunteers provide valuable advice to school boards and can also assist local families by sharing information about special education programs and services.
Easter Seals Ontario SEAC members are former clients, parents, or family members of children or youth with physical disabilities that provide advice to the school board Trustees and school board administration. As committee members, they have an opportunity to review special education programs and services and provide advice to the Trustees on the annual Special Education Plan and related special education budget. Members of SEAC CAN and DO make a difference in special education programs and services!
The membership of SEAC, and roles and responsibilities of SEAC members are determined by Regulation 464/97 , Special Education Advisory Committees, of the Education Act.
If you would like to volunteer as a SEAC representative, or wish to be connected with your local SEAC member, please contact Olivia Or at oor@easterseals.org.
