Did you know that in 2022, 22.5% of all school students received classroom adjustments due to a disability (ACARA 2023). This percentage represents 1 in 5 students, meaning in a typical sized classroom of 18-20 students, 5 of these students statistically need some level of adjustment. This figure would also be somewhat representative of 3 and 4 year old Kindergarten settings. 

Considering this, it is ever so import for all educators, whether Teachers, Educational Support Officers or Early Learning Educators to be confident in supporting the needs of students with additional needs. 

Every child has the right to feel safe, supported and feel success in their learning, and educators play a huge part in ensuring this happens. 

So if you are looking for some professional development in the area of supporting students with special needs @shareshapeandshine have on demand webinars that add to 1.5 hours of PD. The image is just one of the fantastic PDs.
