What is this project all about?
ACDL has been funded by the Department of Social Services (DSS) through their Information Linkages & Capacity Building (ILC) programme to make it easier for students with disability to stay in mainstream education and reach their full potential.
We have created a detailed toolkit so that students and families can understand their rights, and advocate more effectively for reasonable adjustments.

ACDL has been funded by the Department of Social Services (DSS) through their Information Linkages & Capacity Building (ILC) programme to make it easier for students with disability to stay in mainstream education and reach their full potential.
We have created a detailed toolkit so that students and families can understand their rights, and advocate more effectively for reasonable adjustments.
Our Education Toolkit has been designed to:
- Assist students with a range of disabilities to access an equitable and inclusive education
- Build capacity and empower families and students with disability to advocate from a position of knowledge and strength for reasonable adjustments
- Preserve relationships between families and schools, and avoid stressful and lengthy formal complaint mechanisms being invoked
- Optimise the legal position of students and families if self-advocacy fails, and formal complaints are later required.
Other resources coming soon include:
- Accessible versions – we are currently adapting the toolkit into a range of different accessible formats
- Community languages – the toolkit will be available in other languages from 2022.
