Planning for Personalised Learning and Support: A National Resource. Based on the Disability Standards for Education 2005

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2008) is a global effort to promote the equal and active participation of all people with disability. Australia ratified this convention, which means that it is committed to promoting, protecting, and ensuring that people with disability are given full equality under the law. The process of personalised learning and support is in line with the Convention, and aims to ensure that effective personalised support measures are provided in learning environments that maximise academic and social development, consistent with the Convention's goal of full inclusion. Personalised learning requires attention to the unique needs of all students of all abilities, acknowledging that each have different learning needs. This is particularly relevant for students with disability and additional learning needs. In addressing personalised learning and support, a process can be followed which involves the student's support networks, and which aims to build on the student's strengths. This resource provides guidance around personalised learning and support for students with disability. Contains a list of resources for parents and educators.
