Welcome
Special Education Advisory Committees (SEACs) play a vital role in the success of special education programs and services in Ontario’s publicly funded schools.
This information program has been developed by the Ontario Ministry of Education to assist SEAC members to undertake the roles and responsibilities ascribed to them by legislation.
References in the training materials to specific legislation, regulations and policies are intended to make the reader aware of these requirements. Readers wishing to use these provisions should refer to the original legislation, regulations and policies for actual wording and for context.
