EDUF3046: Empowering Learners Across the Lifespan
2025 unit information
Education is a right of all learners. This unit examines differing features of educational and social frameworks (NDIS) developed to support the education and quality of life for children, young people and older persons who identify with disability. Transitioning from early childhood through schooling and postschool options, seminars will focus on how education supports and works with persons with disabilities and their families to maximise quality of life outcomes across the life span. Students will explore processes and practices in early intervention, schooling and beyond that empower persons with disability to be self-determined, independent members of their families and communities.
