I am Alma Rimando, a mother of a kid with special need. Just want to know if there are schools offering special education for special kids for free in Manitoba. Do they have program for speech delay, learning disability?

As I know, there are special schools offered but I don't its address. It was a SPED Learning School I think.

As a Canadian and former teacher I can tell you that the generally accepted practice is to 'mainstream' all special needs students into regular schools whenever possible. All public school systems have transportation for special needs students. Trained assistants are provided in the school as needed and the student is given every kind of support necessary in order to keep their learning experience as normal as possible given their situation. In most cases they end up being the 'darling' of the classroom and favorites of all the other students.

Don't worry about a thing!
