Hello Cassy,
Thank you for sharing your situation and questions with us.
You can find some information regarding what is available to get your high school diploma on the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities website.
Here is an excerpt,
Getting Your High School Diploma
Many school boards offer courses to help you get your high school diploma (the Ontario Secondary School Diploma).
School boards may offer classes during the day or at night to make it easier for working adults. These may include distance learning, or teacher-led online courses.
Contact your local school board if you need help picking courses or have questions.
The Independent Learning Centre offers many credit courses to do at home.
Services are free. To find classes in your area, call Employment Ontario (1-800-387-5656), TTY (telephone service for the deaf) 1-866-533-6339. You can also search under "Adult High School Credit Programs" on the Employment Ontario website.
As it suggests on the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities website, you may want to contact your local school board for help picking courses and for additional information.
You may also want to go to the Independent Learning Centre or contact them for information regarding the credit courses to do at home.
It also suggests that you search under "Adult High School Credit Programs" on the Employment Ontario website.
It is also best that you contact your local Ontario Disability Support Program office and your ODSP Caseworker directly for definitive information regarding your options and what type of assistance may be available.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
