Did you know?

Students with disability are encouraged and supported to attend their local government school.

Schools can assist students with a range of specialist services and resources.

Where to start

Speak with your child’s teacher or principal if you are worried about your child’s learning or development.

For your child…

• An individual Learning Plan will be developed, with your help, to identify goals for learning.
• Educational adjustments will be made to the teaching and learning program to help your child participate.
• Specialist staff, equipment or technology may be used.

Tips for supporting your child

• Talk with your child’s teacher regularly.
• Share the achievements of your child’s goals and learning experiences with school staff.
• Be a part of the discussions and planning for your child’s learning in partnership with their teacher.
• At times of transition (changing year levels or schools) work with the school staff to help your child.
