A 5: Learning Disabilities
Facilitated by: Steve Miller, Georgian College
What is a learning disability and how does it affect a student’s success? Does a student’s knowledge of their learning disability help them? And if so, how can I help? Let’s look at what a learning disability is and how we as educators can help support student success.

A 6: Symbiosis and Mutualism: The Rhino and Its Companion Bird as a Model of Integration
Facilitated by: Jeanette Barrett, Durham College
This panel is comprised of representatives of Job Connect, Dan Goldring and Wanda Jacobs, and Apprenticeship, John Woodward. It will provide an overview of program delivery guidelines and objectives, and share examples of successful “mutualism” already occurring. The bulk of the time will be set aside to develop provincial and individual college strategies for these three programs to work together more closely – just like the rhino and its passenger bird. One provides food; the other provides comfort and a warning system.
This workshop will help you prepare for the anticipated implementation of the One Stop Initiative.
