The complainant, a student with autism spectrum disorder, alleged that the school board discriminated against him by failing to adequately accommodate his disability-related needs in a regular classroom setting.
The allegations included failure to provide a continuous and competent Special Needs Assistant, delay in providing a dedicated computer, inadequate toileting support, and excessive time spent outside the classroom.
The Tribunal found that the school board made reasonable efforts to accommodate the complainant's needs, including providing one-on-one support, implementing a habit-training program, and offering training to staff.
The Tribunal concluded that the accommodations provided were reasonable and responsive to the complainant's needs, and dismissed the complaint.
