Common questions
Is this playbook really free?+

Is it Canadian-specific?+
Yes. Every playbook is written for Canadian families. We reference Canadian terminology (IEP, IPRC, SEA, designations) — not U.S. concepts like 504 plans or IDEA.
Do I need to be in Ontario?+
No. While we have especially deep Ontario expertise, the strategies, scripts, and rights frameworks apply across Canada. Province-specific notes are flagged where they matter.
