EDPD5001: Students with Disability
2024 unit information
This unit examines the characteristics and learning requirements of children with intellectual, physical, language, sensory, learning, behavioural and/or emotional disabilities and an understanding of disability issues, legislation, and policy. The unit of study follows a rights-based approach to disability. Through the study and discussion of theory and research, students will be guided more explicitly to an understanding and critical evaluation of research literature in disability in education. Students will develop skills of critical review and analysis necessary for the evaluation of research in the field using current disability models.
