Disability Inclusion

Our school has begun introducing some changes to help us strengthen support for students with disabilities.

 

Disability Inclusion will help our school better understand what our students need to help them learn and participate at school. It involves:

  • a new Disability Inclusion Profile and school funding model to strengthen support for students with disabilities
  • more resources, training and coaching for our teachers and school staff about the best ways to support students with disabilities.

The Disability Inclusion Profile will be available to help us identify the strengths, needs, and educational adjustments we can make to assist students with disabilities and additional learning needs. The Disability Inclusion Profile replaces the Program for Students with Disabilities (PSD) application process. Over the coming years, we will invite families of students who are currently part of the PSD, and other students with disabilities and additional learning needs, to participate in a meeting to complete a Disability Inclusion Profile. 

 

We welcome back Miss Georgia Ryan this term who will join our Wellbeing Team (alongside myself, Mrs. Pepper and Rose) to help support those students with additional needs.  

 

The new Disability Inclusion approach ensures our school is better able to support students with disabilities and additional learning needs.

 

Langwarrin Primary School is excited to be part of Disability Inclusion and we look forward to continuing to support our students to learn and thrive.
