Promoting success for students with special needs / disabilities

The TBS Education disability mission

The TBS Education disability mission is specifically dedicated to welcoming, supporting and integrating students with disabilities from the moment they are admitted to the school.

Its objective is to enable and empower students with physical, cognitive or psychological disabilities, or a disabling health condition to pursue their studies in the best possible conditions. This is achieved by accommodating students and organizing the appropriate assistance or adaptations for students and by advising them throughout the course of their studies.

Application for disability support

From the moment of admission

To prepare for the new school year in the best possible conditions, as well as to address all your questions and to precisely identify your needs, we invite you to contact the Disability Advisor as soon as possible after you have confirmed your registration at TBS Education.

During your first meeting, you will be able to familiarize yourself with the school’s resource personnel who will accompany you during your learning experience at TBS Education. Regular check-in meetings will be scheduled to assess the appropriate level of support you are being provided and to assess any measures needed to adapt them according, if required.

Throughout your studies

If at any time during your course of study you feel that you need to have your exams and/or your courses adapted due to a change in your situation caused by a permanent or temporary disability, the school’s Disability Advisor is available to meet you at any time.
