The Special Education Program embraces the vision of educating students to participate in Church and the wider community.

In partnership with school communities and families the Special Education Team promotes the access and inclusion of students with disabilities. The focus is on building respectful relationships with families, and using contemporary and creative practice to foster students’ lifelong learning.

Catholic Education SA provides special education assistance to schools with students with disabilities through the Special Education Program and the Special Education Team. Resourcing for individual students is negotiated annually on a needs basis.

A choice of schooling options is available for students with disabilities including mainstream schools, two special schools and one primary and four secondary units attached to mainstream schools.

To support families in choosing appropriate options, the Special Education Consultants provide enrolment support and collaborative case coordination. Services to schools and students include consultancy advice, professional development, assessment and a Capital Grants program.
