After holding focus groups in New Brunswick, CNIB created this legal information handbook to provide helpful responses to some of the most common questions we heard.
In the handbook below, you’ll find:
- An overview of your most important legal rights related to education
- Answers to common questions like
- "My child will be starting school. What can I do to ensure my child's sight loss is accommodated?”
- "My post-secondary institution has advised me that I am required to secure and pay for my own accommodations. Is this true?”
- Links to helpful legal services and community supports
The Know Your Rights legal Information handbooks are available in two different formats:
If you’d like to receive this handbook in Braille or DAISY format, please email knowyourrights@cnib.ca. Did this handbook answer your question or did it connect you to a helpful resource? Please let us know!
