Founder and Executive Director

Janice McTighe

Inspired by a child with a disability more than 48 years ago, Janice McTighe had a dream of building innovative educational facilities where children with special needs could go to access the supports needed to develop to their full potential. Her vision? A world of possibilities for every child. Under her direction, thousands of children have received education tailored to their unique strengths and areas for growth in Renfrew’s schools, and thousands more have received supports and services in the community.
