Principal's Report

Disability Inclusion is the Department of Education’s approach to supporting students with disability in Victorian government schools. It replaced the old Program for Students with Disabilities a few years ago and is now in place across the state. A big part of it is the Disability Inclusion Profile, where parents, school staff and a facilitator meet to talk through a child’s strengths and needs and agree on what support will help them at school. The meeting covers 31 educational activities across 6 domains, and for each one the group discusses the level of adjustment the student needs. To qualify for funding at school, a student generally needs substantial or extensive levels of adjustment in at least 8 of these 31 activities.

What We Talk About in the Profile Meeting

At Truganina P-9 College, our Disability Inclusion (DI) Team looks after this process day to day. They work with students, families, teachers and outside specialists to make sure the right adjustments are in place, in the classroom and around the school.
