Introduction

Allow us to introduce you to Inspirations Magazine,  a publication geared towards  special needs individuals and their families. Our first edition   was produced  in October 2008.

The English Montreal School Board (EMSB),  a leader in catering to special needs children and  young adults, is proud to be sponsoring Inspirations.  It is  published twice annually (fall and spring) and distributed widely in the Greater Montreal, Laval and South Shore areas to English school boards, institutions dealing with special needs individuals, hospitals, CLSCs, doctors offices, community organizations, the media and government. The magazine is available at many dropoff points across the island, including shopping malls, city halls, libraries and restaurants.  

Inspirations  provides uplifting  success stories in the area of special needs. We will also have experts in various fields provide timely advice to parents.   Through the pages of Inspirations we bring you the feedback from psychologists, guidance counsellors, speech language pathologists, autism spectrum disorder consultants, behavior specialists, social workers and  physiotherapists. We go into the classrooms of the intellectually and physically handicapped as well as examine how the visually and hearing impaired population cope day to day. The underlining message is that all of these people continue to be “Inspirations” to all of us.
