I also don't understand why the child hasn't got an aide. To be honest we've no idea from the thread starter how and how much the child is incapacitated or if they even are.

Alberta education suggest there is funding available. (P93)

What is the relationship between the diagnosis and the severity of the disability? Diagnoses are important in determining whether students have special education needs, but the degree of need is determined by the impact of the conditions on school performance and the extent to which accommodations and supports are required for students to learn and be successful in the classroom. The relationship between a clinical diagnosis and the required level of special education programming and supports is not direct. The level of special education need is determined by an assessment of:
• the number of areas of functioning affected
• the extent to which functioning is affected in each area
• the effect on others
• the amount of support required.
