As a result of recent advances in HIVIAIDS treatments, the near future will bring a significantly increased number of children either infected with - or affected by - HIV/AIDS into public schools in Canada. In order to help the psychologist and other professionals involved in the education of children, we have interpreted the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) Guidelines for Non-Discriminatory Practice in this context. As with the Canadian Code of Ethics for Psychologists (CPA, 1991) the general principles of the Guidelines for Non-Discriminatory Practice include: I. Respect for the Dignity of Persons, II. Responsible Caring, III. Integrity in Relationships, and IV Responsibility to Society. In addition, we have included practical vignettes in the hope of stimulating continued dialogue.
