🎒 New Year, Fair Start: The VCAA Special Provisions Checklist

The school gates are open! While the kids are settling into their new classrooms, Year 12 families need to act fast to ensure a level playing field for final exams.

If your student lives with ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, or other learning differences, Special Provisions ensure their VCE results reflect their hard work, not their condition.

Here is your Term 1 To-Do List:

📘 Identify the Need: Does your child require extra time, rest breaks, or a reader/scribe to perform at their best?

📘Secure the Diagnosis: Ensure you have a current report from a registered psychologist, paediatrician, or specialist.

📘 Document the "How": It’s not just the diagnosis—the paperwork must explain exactly how the condition impacts their ability to sit an exam.

📘 Contact the School: Touch base with your school’s VCE Coordinator or Learning Support team immediately.

📘 Beat the Deadline: All specialist paperwork needs to be ready for submission in Early Term 1.

Don’t leave it to the last minute! Getting organised now means one less thing to worry about during the Year 12 marathon.

✨ Need a specialist assessment or report to support your application? We’re here to help you navigate the process and still have some appointments available in February. Enquire now here: https://raisethebarclinic.com.au/book-online/

❓"Is my child too young for an assessment?"
Not at all. In many cases, assessments can start from age 2.

The key is early signs — not age alone. If you’re noticing differences, trust your gut. You don’t need to wait for a school referral.

Book an early assessment and give your child the support they need sooner.

When ADHD and autism overlap, clarity makes a difference.
Accurate assessments help reduce mislabeling, open doors to appropriate supports, and build self-understanding at every stage of life. Knowing the difference means better guidance, funding pathways, and everyday strategies that actually fit.
