Early childhood education

Young children with disability may experience early childhood education at home, at childcare centres, at pre-schools or at kindergartens. Early childhood education occurs the year before full-time schooling starts. Information and support may be available to help you make sure that your child with disability and/or developmental delay has a positive start to their education.

Education

Learners with disability have the right to an education that develops their skills and capabilities. Very young children, school-goers and tertiary students can all benefit from a good education. In addition, you can look at short courses and consider further studies that suit you, no matter what your age.
