Referrals

Children are accepted to the Children’s Centre School Authority through a referral process. Referral packages are reviewed by the Admissions Committee whose members include the School Principal, the Special Education Consultant and the Manager of Clinical Services.

Decisions for admission are based on a variety of factors including entry criteria, availability of spots, and student groupings.

Who Can Refer a Child?

Referrals are accepted from the Niagara Children's Centre and coterminous school boards. 

General Information

The education programs at Niagara Children’s Centre School are full-day, interdisciplinary intervention programs for children with complex needs who require a specific period (one to two years) of specialized educational and therapeutic programming.

For any questions, or to discuss a specific referral, please contact Jennifer Gibbs, Special Education Consultant at 905-688-1890 ext. 232, or by email at
