Special Education

Students with an exceptionality of MID (Mild Intellectual Disability) are part of Eastdale’s Special Education MID Program. Our focus is to prepare students for independent living, further education or transition to the workplace. Classes focus on functional literacy (reading, writing, oral communication), functional numeracy (banking, budgeting), independent living (meal preparation, household chores, self-care) and interpersonal skills. Students gain work-related skills through Hairstyling, Hospitality, and Communication Technology Programs. Students are offered TTC Training in combination with Co-operative Education and Community Service.
