Community Living Ontario has just gone live with a second Ontario School Inclusion Survey (following their 2023 version).

Here's a quick link to the survey itself: https://www.surveymonkey.ca/r/OSIS2026

Ontario School Inclusion Survey
A survey on the school experiences of students with disabilities in Ontario

What is the survey about?
Community Living Ontario is partnering with Jess Whitley at the University of Ottawa to conduct a study to better understand children with disabilities’ school experience. We are interested in hearing about your child(ren)’s experiences, including specific questions about exclusion, seclusion, and restraint.

Who can take part in the study?
The study is for families whose child(ren) are attending school in Ontario this school year (September 2025 - June 2026), whether or not they have experienced exclusion, seclusion or restraint.

How would I take part?
We have a survey and an option for an interview. Families can do either or both of these. The survey will take between 5 and 25 minutes to complete, depending on your experiences and how much information you choose to share. The interview usually takes about 30 minutes and would be virtual (Zoom or phone).

The information you share is completely anonymous and confidential.

Will I be paid to do the survey or interview?
To thank you for your contribution to the research project, you will be given the option to enter your name in a draw for several prizes of Amazon gift cards.

Who can I contact for questions?
If you have any questions about the study, you can contact Jess and her team at [email protected] or Shawn Pegg at Community Living Ontario at [email protected] or 416-447-4348.

La semaine dernière, VivreTravaillerJouer a conclu une série de trois formations développée et animée au cours des trois derniers mois dans le cadre d’un projet de recherche mené par l’équipe du HUMAlab de La Cité.

Destinée aux employeurs, cette initiative portait sur l’inclusion en emploi des francophones ayant un handicap invisible, notamment les personnes ayant une déficience intellectuelle et les personnes autistes.

Joëlle Perrier-Olsen, spécialiste de l’emploi inclusif chez VivreTravaillerJouer, a animé les séances portant sur les concepts et approches inclusives en milieu de travail.

Nous sommes reconnaissants d’avoir eu l’occasion de collaborer avec l’équipe du HUMAlab de La Cité dans le cadre de ce projet important.

Last week, LiveWorkPlay concluded a three-part training series that was developed and delivered over the previous three months as part of a research project led by the HUMAlab team at La Cité.

Designed for employers, the initiative focused on the inclusion of Francophones with invisible disabilities in the workforce, particularly people with intellectual disabilities and autistic people.

Joëlle Perrier-Olsen, an Inclusive Employment Specialist with LiveWorkPlay, facilitated the sessions on inclusive workplace concepts and practices.

We are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with the HUMAlab team at La Cité on this important project.
