Disability Standards for Education: Information products for students with disability and their parents and carers
The Australian Government Department of Education (Department) worked with Children and Young People with Disability Australia (CYDA) and students with disability and their families and caregivers to create these resources. They aim to help you understand your rights as a student with disability, or the rights of your child, and to work with education providers to make sure you can learn and participate on the same basis as students without disability.
- How to advocate - helps school and tertiary students with disabilities to build self-advocacy skills and provides guidance on how to raise and resolve concerns with education providers.
- 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.
- Disability Standards for Education in Practice: Action Plan – this resource is for students who are in high school or tertiary education.
