Specialist Disability Support in Schools (SDSS)

Services

Our approach

We provide Specialist Disability Support in Schools (SDSS) to help students with disability access and participate in learning to achieve their best educational outcomes. 

Funded by the Department of Education, our allied health team works alongside students, families and schools to identify any barriers that might make learning or participation more difficult and provide practical supports that help children get the most out of school.  

Our goal is to ensure every eligible student has the tools, confidence and support they need to succeed in the classroom and beyond.
