We are the students of the Physical Support Unit. We have dedicated Teachers and Educational Assistants who offer us a program to develop our abilities in the areas of personal growth, academics, physical education and work skills. We have such classes as English, Math, Computer Media, Art, Vocational Skills, Social Skills and Science. We develop our employability and volunteer potential by doing contract work, volunteer work, both in in-school and out-of-school work experience, and co-op placements.
Like all of the students at OTLC, we are encouraged to follow and persist in our own interests but, we must face the challenge of independence with even more determination, due to our multiple exceptionalities, such as
Cerebral Palsy,
Spina-bifida, Visual Impairment, and Hearing Impairment.
