Students with additional needs

Every child should have access to education. This page explains the laws in place to make sure students with disabilities have the right to take part in education on the same basis as their peers.

To make sure your child has the same learning opportunities as children without disability, an education provider must make reasonable adjustments.

Working in partnership with your child's school can help give your child the best chance to achieve their potential.

Schools can apply for funding to improve access, provide specialised equipment and assistive technologies, and create learning spaces that cater for individual needs.
