P4P's Fall Webcast Season starts this September! With school almost back in session, we're excited to kick things off with the Introduction to Parent and Caregiver Advocacy in Ontario's Schools webcast!

We know that navigating the education system can be challenging when your child has diverse learning needs. Having a good understanding of the system and knowing what resources are available can equip you with the tools you need to better advocate for your child.
