Earlier this week, the Ministry for Seniors and Accessibility released the Final Recommendations Report from the K–12 Education Standards Development Committee (ESDC) regarding the development of a proposed K–12 Education Standard under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA).
