Disability Inclusive Education: Foundation Level, Australian Council For Educational Research (Acer)
Education Analytics Service
The purpose of this module is to provide introductory information about the rationale, purpose, benefits, key issues and outcomes of disability-inclusive education. The module focusses on disability-inclusive primary and secondary education, with some reference to post-school education and training (PSET) and early childhood education (ECE).
