Exceptional and Special Needs

Exceptional & Special Needs

EducationMatters donors help to make each CBE school a place where all students have the opportunity to find their own success and learn in ways that are appropriate to them.

Every student has their own unique strengths to nurture and challenges to overcome; for some individuals, such as exceptional and special needs have their own complexities of their challenges that have the potential to overshadow their time in school, and community investment can provide opportunities to mitigate that risk. EducationMatters donors fund programming and resources for students with exceptional and special needs, learning disabilities, English Language Learners, students with cognitive and developmental disabilities, pregnant and parenting teens, and so many more.

With help from donors like you, thousands of Calgary students receive the extra help they need to find their version of success; donate today and help every student reach their potential.

Together, we can create new opportunities for Calgary’s students.

At EducationMatters we believe that education is the cornerstone of our society. In the spirit of reconciliation, recognizing, and thanking our Indigenous friends and neighbours honours their history and builds the conditions of respect for all peoples. EducationMatters board, staff, and volunteers acknowledge that the land on which we gather is the traditional Treaty 7 territory of the Blackfoot Nations, which include the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai. We also acknowledge the Tsuut’ina and Stoney Nakoda First Nations (including the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations).The City of Calgary is also home to Métis Nation of Alberta - Districts 5 and 6. We acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit who have cared for these lands for generations.
