Students with disabilities

Diagnostic assessment

The Diagnostic Assessment Guidelines have recently been revoked.

The Department of Education and Training is developing guidelines that recognise the importance of family inclusive practice and the value of families as a resource and support network for students with wellbeing and inclusion needs.

Active and meaningful participation of parents and family in the lives of children is pivotal to their health, wellbeing and educational engagement.

Schools should refer to the Family inclusive practice - information sheet for schools available on eLearn for further information on how to adopt family inclusive practices in schools.

Disability equipment funding program

The Department of Education and Training’s disability equipment funding program provides equipment to children with disabilities in Northern Territory Government schools to facilitate inclusion in the classroom and the attainment of educational goals.

Requests for funding can be lodged at any time of the year, whenever equipment is needed.

Educators can access more information on the policy and advisory library (staff access only).
