Annual Accessibility Plan

The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) is a legislated requirement. The intent of which is to transform Ontario into an accessible society for people with disabilities. To this end, the AODA requires each school board to prepare an annual accessibility plan; to consult in the preparation of this plan; and to make the plan public.

This plan was prepared by the Accessibility Committee of the London District Catholic School Board. The plan describes: the measures that the London District Catholic School Board has taken in the past, and the measures that the London District Catholic School Board will take during the 2011-12 year to identify, remove and prevent barriers for all.

 

The London District Catholic School Board is committed to the continual improvement of access to school board facilities, policies, programs, practices and services for students, staff, parents/guardians, volunteers and members of the community with disabilities.

 

Working from last year‟s inventory, the Accessibility Committee continued to identify and address a number of barriers for people with disabilities. These barriers are categorized and include: Physical/Architectural; Communication/Information; Attitudinal, Technological and Policy/Practice.
