What To Do When Your Child Is Excluded From School
Thousands of students with disabilities across Canada are experiencing involuntary partial-day schooling or full school exclusion. Join Inclusive Education Canada in conversation with Lila Refaie from ARCH Disability Law Centre as we inform families of their children’s rights and provide concrete suggestions to advocate for children experiencing exclusion.
Lila was called to the bar in 2012, and joined ARCH Disability Law Centre in July 2017 as a staff lawyer, offering legal services related to disability rights to persons with disabilities across Ontario. Since 2019, she is the Bilingual Staff Lawyer and Student Programs Lead at ARCH, providing legal services in both English and French. In addition to providing direct legal services to persons with disabilities, she also delivers public legal education and presentations to members of the legal profession and ARCH’s communities on a variety of topics. Before joining ARCH, she was a staff lawyer at a community legal clinic in Prescott-Russell, practicing in poverty law. She also briefly practiced in family law and immigration law. Throughout her legal career, Lila has appeared before several administrative tribunals, the Superior Court of Justice and Divisional Court.

If you are a parent or guardian of a child or youth with disabilities and/or complex learning needs in Canada, the National Exclusion Tracker (NET) is the place to document their experiences of exclusion and ensure they are counted.
Please fill out the survey each time your child or youth experiences exclusion.
Exclusion can take many forms—being sent home, not being included in class activities, field trips, extracurricular programs, or being denied access to child care/out-of-school care. If a child or youth feels excluded, it counts.
