The School of Special Educational Needs: Disability (SSEND) partners with Western Australian Department of Education schools to provide collaborative support and resources that promote learning environments where every student’s potential is realised.
SSEND works alongside public schools as part of their collaboration with parents, carers, families and external agencies to provide the best support for students.
SSEND consulting teachers do not engage directly with parents or carers of students with disability or learning difficulties. In its role as case manager, the requesting school maintains decision-making, including stakeholder collaboration as appropriate.
SSEND does not have enrolled students. Rather, SSEND closely works with Department schools to build the skills of educators to effectively support students with disability.
If you are a parent who is seeking to maximise your child’s learning outcomes, your starting point is making contact with your child's enrolled school.
If the school requires assistance to provide the most supportive learning environment for your child, the school can contact SSEND directly through their Request for Assistance process.
As a parent or carer, your local school is your first point of contact in relation to students with disability or learning difficulties.
