Webinar Overview

What is normal anyway?!

This webinar is an introduction to neurodiversity for trainers.

The number of students with a disability has been rising each year and the latest data from the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) showed that students who received an educational adjustment due to disability in 2023 was 24.2 per cent of total school enrolments – and they are coming your way into the VET sector!
