TERESA LATCHFORD tlatchford@yrmg.com One local teacher still has nightmares two years after a violent incident in her special needs classroom. The teacher, who we’ve agreed not to identify, won’t soon forget the day a student uttered death threats and then
threw a piece of furniture at her head. She has been spit at, kicked, bitten, verbally abused and her life has been threatened on more than one occasion. She has also been required to wear spit shields, bite guards and even Kevlar in the classroom. "The first thing my husband asks me when I get home every day is ’Are you OK?’" she said.
"Try going home and explaining bruises to your family when you are a teacher. They expect me to come home every day in one piece." In 2013, 194 incidents of violence were reported by York Region elementary teachers; in the last school year there were 536, York Region Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario
president David Clegg said. Teachers are reporting trashed classrooms and broken windows; being grabbed by the throat, physically restrained and stabbed with scissors. "It’s the No. 1 topic and it’s a troubling issue that isn’t well understood," he added. "The

Susie Kockerscheidt/Metroland
Kathy Laszlo (from left) with her son, Danny, and Susie Sokol with her daughter, Talya, spend time in the DANI computer room. DANI, an organization that creates programs for adults with disabilities, has a facility at the Garnet Community Centre in Thornhill.
DIVERTING DANNY Program opens doors for adults with disabilities SIMONE JOSEPH sjoseph@yrmg.com doesn’t want to watch the Price is Right all day. She managed to find Danny a government program, but Laszlo ended up reporting it for being "borderline abusive", she said. The program offered no programming and the employees rarely interacted with the adults with developmental disabilities, she said. So, Laszlo and Sokol took the next step in their vision. They rented a Toronto house and launched a three-day-per-week program. Participants got involved in catering, creating
school lunches from the home’s small kitchen, with profits going back into the program. Word got around and other parents became interested in the program. The catering orders increased and soon, they couldn’t meet the demand for the day program or the number of catering orders. Ninety-five per cent of the program participants were from Thornhill, so it made sense to move the program there, to Garnet Williams Community Centre near Yonge Street and Clark Avenue in May 2013. Like Laszlo and Sokol,
Graeme Treeby can relate to the frustration of hunting for hardto-reach services. The youngest of his three children, Jenny, 30, has cerebral palsy, a developmental delay and other issues. She attends a day program in Newmarket. Like Danny and Talya’s parents, Treeby and his wife also worry about Jenny’s future. "There’s a slim chance we won’t live forever," he jokes. "Just in case, we plan to make sure Jenny has a decent quality of life." So, back in 1990, when Jenny
was three or four, Treeby began researching ways to make this happen. "We found out quickly nobody knew what to do, how to help us," he said. He decided to find the information himself. This mission saw him give up his accounting career and by 1993, he was travelling the province full-time, giving people advice on how to plan for their children’s financial future, helping them answer that ultimate question: what happens when I’m gone? In 1997, he formed Special Needs Planning, based out of Stouffville. (http://www.specialneedsplanning.ca/) The Stouffvile resident finds it frustrating how few resources there are for people also wanting to plan for their loved one’s future financial security. "There aren’t enough hours in the day to respond to the email or to make calls to set up appointments," he said. Laszlo and Sokol now know all about the race to meet ballooning demand. They had 11 participants in their program when they moved to Thornhill in 2013. Today, there are 31 participants. Their organization, DANI, now offers a supported employment program, as well as evening, social, music and Sunday programs. The non-profit has a $1.2million budget, with no government funding. It operates a kosher dairy café at Garnet and a pop-up restaurant that can travel to your workplace or an office close by. The pop-up is so popular that they are now booking into 2018. The pop-up also helps fights prejudice, according to Laszlo. Some people may have never seen someone with a disability working, Laszlo said. "To see them in action changes people’s view of adults with a disability," she said. Go to http://dani-toronto.com/ for more information on DANI.

anny and Talya’s lives have dovetailed. They went to many of the same programs, camps and schools growing up. They both have developmental disabilities and were integrated into schools alongside children without disabilities. But as they approached the end of high school, each of their mothers - Kathy Laszlo and Susie Sokol - worried about their futures. Laszlo and Sokol had the same wish: They wanted their children to maintain social, active lifestyles after high school. Children with a developmental disability are entitled to an education under age 21, but once they reach that age, the entitlement stops, Laszlo said. "It is like sitting on the side of a cliff. There is nothing. No continuity," she said. "They don’t have rights to anything. We wanted to be proactive and do something for them," Laszlo said. But they had trouble finding programs. So, they created a parent action group of seven parents. From there, they hoped someone would take on their vision of providing programs for adults with developmental disabilities who have finished high school. No organization was interested, Laszlo said. So, the women decided to launch the idea themselves. In the beginning, it was mainly a social group. In August 2006, the group held a week-long summer camp for people with developmental disabilities. They had no money, Laszlo said. University students were willing to help for no pay. The camp included cooking sessions in Laszlo’s kitchen. By 2008, Danny and Talya had finished high school and still had nowhere to go. Danny was home for a few months while Talya tried to work from home. "It was a disaster," Laszlo remembers, noting Danny

Roads construction shortfall must be addressed Residents may be in for a rough ride over the next decade or so as York Region grapples with a $1.5-billion shortfall in its forecasted 10-year roads construction budget. While characterized as a "worst case scenario," by director of transportation and infrastructure Brian Titherington, the lack of adequate funding for road work could lead to 56 projects being delayed beyond 2031. That’s not likely to be greeted as good news in a region whose residents list traffic as being one of their biggest concerns. Some parts of York are already congested to a standstill during the morning and afternoon rush hours (if not all day) and the problem will only intensify as the region’s population grows from its current 1.11 million to its projected 1.79 million by 2041. Now, the region is spending more on transportation than it ever has, according to Titherington. But, he stressed, the dollars just aren’t there to continue doing so at the usual pace. Instead, some relief will need to come via transit, carpooling, off-peak travel and emerging technologies. However, those options may not ever satisfy a significant number of residents, especially in a region that was predominantly built around the idea of commuting from one place to another by personal vehicle. For whatever reason, the region seems woefully unprepared for this shortfall. Yes, it is poised to collect $300 million less in development charges than it had anticipated. But this should be a surprise to no one, as there had been numerous warnings issued over the past few years about the potential for the pace of growth to slow. Similarly, the region only passed its transportation master plan last year, which included a list of projects needed to meet the demands presented by growth; so why are we only hearing now that the cost of the needed improvements is about twice the available budget? We agree that hiking taxes above reasonable levels isn’t the answer to the problem and borrowing more money on top of the region’s existing $2.9-billion debtload isn’t a viable option given the spectre of a credit downgrade that would result in higher borrowing costs. Asking the province for additional taxation powers could yield results, depending on what form they take, but the region should also look within for efficiencies and ensure that growth is in fact paying for growth. One thing’s for sure: the solution isn’t simply to shrug and kick 56 cans down the road. Residents deserve better. After all, no one plans to fail; they fail to plan.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • Entrepreneurism a state of mind, character Re: EDITORIAL: Entrepreneurial skills vital for young people, Aug. 3. Your article would have been timely at least two decades ago and possibly even earlier than that. While Canadian governments of all political stripes get themselves elected by offering the electorate continual enhancements to the already well entrenched safety net social contract, the industry and technological trends you mention are pulling the economy and the ways in which people may financially support themselves in the polar opposite direction. Careers as entrepreneurs, i.e. self employment, may well be the course for more people.
Those traits include the deep desire and courage to "go it alone," while seeing many around head for the safety of large corporations and governments, with all of their perquisites, pensions and medical plans, etc., and the cool headed intuitive judgment necessary when those pesky, mission critical decision times arise, as they will, and invariably do so at the most inconvenient moments. True entrepreneurism is a state of mind and character which cannot be acquired. For those not so disposed, rewarding employment careers may be sought in the industries engaged in the robotics technologies to which you refer. These will require a growing number of people skilled in the design, installation and running of them and their associated systems. The techni-

cal training colleges and universities already turn out graduates in those disciplines and perhaps a priority should be given to finding ways to ensure they are continually adequately funded. However, for those young people aspiring to an entrepreneurial life, their school curriculum should include an introduction to the fundamentals of the full cycle of business planning, starting with the articulation of the value proposition for an enterprise and culminating with investor preparation.

Subway extension nothing to celebrate Re: Vaughan subway will be ready to roll on Dec. 17 says TTC, Sept. 11.
There’s nothing really to celebrate or fuss about the opening of this subway extension beyond York University (even then, the students there were managing pretty well from Wilson or Downsview for many years.) After all this hassle, inconvenience, road congestion (beyond YU) up to the final extension for several years (not to mention countless dollars of tax payers’ money) are we to understand that it would carry 100,000 passengers a year for VMC? That’s only 274 passengers a day. It may be a good sales pitch for local property price increase, but seems hardly a justifiable investment when such money could have been expended in other cost-effective projects. Basu Bose

Board weighs best course of action for teachers, students l Continued from front
public immediately jumps to student versus student or bullying when discussed." The teachers’ federation has been holding focus groups and polling to gain a better understanding of the situation. In the focus groups, participants don’t believe students committed the acts. "This is happening with relatively young children and most don’t perceive a five- or sixyear-old much of a threat," he said. "But once you’ve seen a classroom a student has ripped apart you think differently." While challenging for teachers, it also impacts the other students in the classroom, the teacher sharing her experiences said. Witnessing aggression, even if it isn’t directed at them, is difficult for children to process and teachers must follow up to explain so students aren’t
fearful of returning to class. "Sometimes, the day after, I call in sick because I just can’t face my students," she said. "It has become much more than teaching, we also have to be mental health supports, which isn’t fair to us or the students because we aren’t experts." She also points out that teachers like herself who have specialized training to deal with escalating students are pulled from their own classrooms to help, which means her students’ learning is interrupted. The federation is beginning to further research the impacts these incidents have on the other children in the classroom, Clegg said. Witnessing these acts or being evacuated from their classroom due to an out of control student must have an impact on their learning. "Integration of identi-

"We have to be able to weigh the right of a child to be educated against the collective rights of others to learn in a safe environment."

sources and protective gear, Clegg isn’t convinced it’s the solution. "There is this big elephant in the room and it’s difficult to talk about," he said. "No one is asking why this is happening. There has to be a systemic, underlying cause." The local is planning to host a symposium in February 2018 with representatives from across the region to discuss just that. Additional resources are provided to teachers in specialized classrooms where students have been identified as special needs or having behavioural challenges, student ser-
vices superintendent Kate Diakiw said. The majority of these incidents happen in specialized classrooms. Teachers in mainstream or ’typical’ classrooms have very little training in dealing with violence and aggression, however, those in special education or behavioural classrooms have received crisis prevention training including understanding behaviour, student escalation signs, responding to defensive behaviour, appropriate response to a student acting out and how to perform control positions.

"Physically intervening is the absolute last resort," she said. "We never want to put a hand on a child and will only do so if they are going to hurt themselves or others." Identified students have plans that spell out what actions should be taken to deal with that child’s behaviour, who will respond if needed and what to do should specific situations arise. "In many plans it is written to call the police but we rarely get to that point," she said. It is mainly these trained teachers who are using the protective gear. Specialized supports are brought in following an incident to re-evaluate plans and support teachers. She admits the system isn’t perfect but says the board is doing well with what it has, adding it is always monitoring violent incidents and analyzing any increase.

SHOWCASE
How to cozy up your home for fall and winter With the return of crisp fall air, most of us look forward to snuggling up at home. Here are some tips for creating an inviting space that’s ready for chilly nights and the upcoming festive seasons. 1. Use seasonal harvest items as decorations. A variety of pumpkins, gourds, twigs and dried leaves make great table centrepieces, front door focal points and mantle décor. 2. Switch out pillows and add a blanket to your favourite sitting area. Focus on plaids and stripes with deep tones to enhance the autumnal atmosphere. Not only are these additions functional, you’ll also find yourself gravitating to the space more often.
away your shorts and sandals and bringing in warmer sweaters, shoes and booties will put you in a warm fall mood. Try the Denver Hayes oil skin jacket from Mark’s as the perfect addition to your cool weather attire. 4. Prep the fireplace. Contact a professional to get it checked and cleaned prior to having your first fire of the season. Following the cleaning, rearrange your furniture around the fireplace and add some extra seating for unexpected guests. 5. Put away the summer bedding and bring out your heavy-duty comforter and flannel sheets. Add a thermal blanket to your bed in a festive pattern to make your bed even comfier for cool nights.
