About these resources
These resources follow a student’s journey through education, starting with early childhood and ending with post-secondary education.
- If you are a parent or caregiver, you can use these to work with your child and organise their supports.
- If you are a student, you can use these resources to organise supports for your education.
CYDA has developed these resources with the Australian Government. Links on this page lead to the website for the Australian Department of Education.
