Special Needs Services Exhibition - Take One!
On November 6-7, I had the honour of hosting the Special Needs Services Exhibition (SNSE) on behalf of the Special Needs Network, a non-governmental charitable organization. The idea behind the exhibition was to bring a number of community service providers together so that families could enjoy "one-stop shopping" in locating programs for people with developmental disabilities and related special needs. There were also informative seminars running every hour.

For some strange reason, it has been decided that people with developmental disabilities are not like the rest of us. They are forced to leave the public school system at age 21 (whether they have achieved functional academic skills or not) and that is, for most, the end of their formal education. Why is this so?

Inclusion, Segregation, Desintegration?
