Getting a good start in school provides the foundation for a child’s learning and development for the rest of their lives.

Professional Education Training
Schools may also access Professional Education Training. This is an elective, paid service that schools may request in addition to other services already provided to the school by Language Disorder Australia’s School Support Services. This professional development service is more extensive and provides increased learning opportunities for school staff. The main goal is to improve and support school staff’s professional knowledge, competence, skills and effectiveness in supporting students with Language Disorder in the classroom. Depending on the topic and needs of the school, this may look like a 3-4 hour workshop. Need more support?
