Discussion with your child’s school and creating an education plan with the classroom and learning support teacher will be integral. To find out about support and funding options, contact the education sector in which your child’s school operates. Organisations such as Learning Difficulties Australia and Learning Difficulties Coalition can also advise you of support options.
