This program is to assist students with learning disabilities to make a successful transition from Grade 7 to secondary school and beyond. The Gr8 Transitions Program aims to assist students to:

• better understand their learning disability;
• learn accommodations, study skills and adaptive technology that matches their strengths and needs;
• to make appropriate course selections for secondary school;
• and be oriented and prepared to make the transition to secondary school.

The program is funded by the Ministry of Training, Colleges, and Universities to collect information about the nature of learning disabilities throughout adolescence.

Through this program Grade 7 students will receive an updated psychoeducational assessment and select students will receive adaptive technology training in-school or at TECHsmart Adaptive Technology Summer Program.
