The Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) acknowledges that students with a disability can engage with the curriculum provided the necessary adjustments are made to the complexity of the curriculum content and to the means through which students demonstrate their knowledge, skills and understanding.
For some learners, making adjustments to instructional processes and to assessment strategies enables students to achieve educational standards commensurate with their peers.
For other students, teachers will need to make appropriate adjustments to the complexity of the curriculum content and by necessity, how the student’s progress is monitored, assessed and reported.
