We require 3-5 hours per week of instruction/assistance (our schedule is flexible.) The individual students who require help are in grades K to 5. Elizabeth Buckley School teaches a B.C. curriculum and all students receive sign language instruction.

If you are able to help us in our search, we would be most appreciative.
