Resource information

Teachers are required to provide learning opportunities and choices for students with disability on the same basis as those offered to students without disability. 

The Australian Curriculum supports this by providing a curriculum that can be used flexibly to meet the needs of all students.   

The Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA) and the Disability Standards for Education 2005 outline the requirements for education providers to ensure that all students with disabilities can access education on the same basis as their peers. This can only occur when students and their parents or carers are consulted about appropriate adjustments.  

These adjustments can be made across the content, process, products and or learning environment in response to student goals, abilities and interests.
