French Immersion and Autism Accommodations in Ontario

2
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:07.600
Schools should not make French
Immersion decisions from

3
00:00:07.600 --> 00:00:10.000
assumptions about autism.

4
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:13.400
The duty to accommodate
applies whether the student

6
00:00:13.500 --> 00:00:18.000
learns in French or English.

7
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:21.000
Work with the French Immersion
teacher and the special

8
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:24.000
education team jointly.

9
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:28.000
Request accommodations and

10
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:32.000
ask which board policy
applies.

11
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:37.500
Some autistic children
thrive in immersion while

12
00:00:37.500 --> 00:00:44.400
others do better in
English-stream programs.
