We often get asked to review school support plans.
At first glance, this looks supportive... right?
But look a little closer š
⢠āThe school will determineā¦ā
⢠āAny provisions not utilised will be removedā
⢠"...not guaranteed..."
These small phrases tell you a lot about how support is being understood.
Because under the Disability Standards for Education, adjustments are not:
ā decided at discretion
ā dependent on frequency of use
ā offered conditionally
They are based on functional need and are provided to ensure equitable access
Access isnāt conditional.
Itās required.
