Supporting the needs of students with diverse learning needs
The Australian Government has released new information resources on the Disability Standards for Education 2005 (Standards) that were co-designed with people with disability with the help of Children and Young People with Disability Australia (CYDA).
What are the resources?
The new resources provide easy-to-use information about the Standards and offer practical advice on how to navigate education systems from early childhood through to tertiary education.
There are four new resources:
- Explaining the Disability Standards for Education – this resource outlines what the Standards are and what they are designed to do.
- Milestones and Transitions – this resource is to help students and their parents and caregivers make their way through their education journey.
- Advocating with and for your child: Primary School – this resource is for parents and caregivers of primary school students.
- Disability Standards for Education in Practice: Action Plan – this resource is for students who are in high school or tertiary education.
Each resource has been translated into Easy Read format and Auslan, and Arabic, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Farsi, Hindi, Khmer, Korean, and Vietnamese.
