The GF Strong School Program is a Provincial Resource Program that seeks to meet the educational needs of students with neurological impairments sustained through injury or illness. The G F Strong School Program staff work primarily as part of the interdisciplinary team on the Adolescent and Young Adult Program (AYA), however, also serve all inpatients who meet our mandate.
There are four components to the program:

Academic assessment

Academic remediation

Academic programming with B.C. Ministry of Education curriculum

School reintegration/return planning/facilitation

Professional Development (providing workshops, conferences, and creating educational materials) to create positive learning environments conducive to our students’ inclusion needs is an important role for G.F. Strong School Program staff.

Outpatients admitted to the Adolescent and Young Adult Program may be referred to the G.F. Strong School Program based on the goals of their outpatient program. Referrals accepted by phone or fax.
