We are moving to Saskatoon, Sk in Canada over the summer and wondering if anyone knows of special schools or services. We now currently live in Maine USA. The web is giving me much info!

Thank you, Emily
 
Welcome to AD! I am not familiar with Canada... I hope you can find the help you need! I am fairly sure there are a few regulars who may know where to look, I am still rather new myself. Wishing you the best with your move and search for resources!
 
Just make sure once you get there to apply for a health card asap so that you can start getting your health coverage...you don't pay for doctor visits and hospital visits and such through canadian health care but Rx drugs and such are not covered unless they are through other health benefits (ie work benefits) here is a link for health stuff in particular hearing aids and audi visitshttp://www.saskatoonhealthregion.ca/your_health/ps_hearing_aid_plan.htm

I live in Ontario but hope that helps :)
 
The Deaf School was closed in the 90's. Which sucks. I would maybe contact any schools that are in bordering provinces. They may be able to advise you on placement etc. Not sure if they may have regional dhh programs...
What kind of programs are you looking for?
 
NOW I AM REALLY HAPPY FOR YOU TO BE MOVING TO SAKATOON, IT IS A WONDERFUL AND ESPECIALL BEAUTIFUL TOWN. I VISITED WHEN I HAVE A DEAF FRIEND LIVING THERE AND SHE HAD HER FAMILY HOME THERE. BUT SHE AND HER TWO DEAF KIDS HAD TO GO TO TOROANTO WHERE THE NATIONAL SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF IS LOCATED. FROM TALKING WITH HER, IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT CANADA CONCLIDATED ALL THE DEAF KIDS INTO ONE SCHOOL, BUT THE EDUCATION IS FREE (i.e. government funded). I AM SPEAKING OF 1994 WHEN I WAS THERE AND I HAVE LOST TOUCH WITH MY FRIEND OVER THE YEARS, SO I AM NOT SURE IF THAT IS STILL THE FACTS.
STILL I WISH I WAS IN YOU SHOES TO BE MOVING TO SASKATOON, CLEANNESS TOWN IN THE WORLD!!!
