In Australia, it is unlawful to discriminate against students with disabilities in their education. The term ‘disability’ in regard to this legislation covers physical, intellectual, mental, and medical impairments as well as learning differences. Education providers must therefore make reasonable adjustments to enable a student with a disability to participate in their education on the same basis as a student without a disability. Does the country you are teaching in have similar legislation, and does your school have any inclusive policies or practices?
