A unique Centre of Expertise in Canada

The mission of the Vanguard Centre of Expertise (VCE) is to share with parents and professionals in education, the expertise, the proven approaches and interventions developed by the Vanguard team, for helping students with learning disabilities.

The Vanguard Centre of Expertise, through its many services, promotes the academic success and developmental growth of students.

To ensure the accessibility of Vanguard’s expertise means that we:

• Respond  to requests regularly expressed by members of the community, on behalf of the many students who don’t have the opportunity to benefit from the services offered by Vanguard School, by offering a wide range of direct services to students;

• Respond  to the needs expressed by educational  partners, in both the public and private sectors, from the elementary, high school and collegial  levels, regarding  the education of students with particular needs, by offering workshops, professional development opportunities and by accompanying our partners;  

• Offer parents quality workshops which allow them to meet their children’s needs and, consequently, be better prepared to support them in their learning process;

• Are at the forefront of awareness activities, projects and initiatives to share knowledge to key players in the educational community by means of our publications as well as by maintaining a close collaboration with external partners such as universities and school boards.
