Disability Inclusion (formerly PSD, the Program for Students with Disabilities) supports the education of students with disabilities in Victorian Government schools by providing schools with additional resources. The resources are provided to schools to assist in the education of students with disabilities, not to individual students.
EHPS has been enrolling students who qualify for these programs since the early 1980s. We are recognised as a leader for our inclusive approach to education. The viable provision of the program is dependent on the funding that qualifying students receive for additional adjustments made to support the student to reach their personal goals.
EHPS has a philosophy of inclusion and as such is committed to ensuring that students with special needs have access to all the school has to offer.
Many students will require a support worker to help ensure their inclusion and safety in school activities. The support worker will provide eligible children with the practical help they need to access the curriculum and also promote the development of the child’s self esteem and self confidence, both fundamental for optimal learning.
EHPS has many experienced support workers who work under the guidance of the classroom teacher to provide a comprehensive and inclusive curriculum.
