Students with Disability – Education Adjustment Program

The Education Adjustment Program (EAP) is one of the systems used to identify the educational adjustments provided by a school to meet the learning and access needs of students with disabilities. An adjustment is any change made to help a student participate at school, to learn, be comfortable and safe.

EAP Verification is the process of confirming that the student’s impairment and associated educational needs meet criteria for one or more of the EAP categories listed below:

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
  • Intellectual Impairment (II)
  • Physical Impairment (PI)
  • Vision Impairment (VI)
  • Hearing Impairment (HI)
  • Speech Language Impairment (SLI)
  • Social Emotional Disorder (SED)

Verification can proceed for students at any stage in schooling. This process is supported by various personnel, depending on the category of disability.

  • Torres Strait flag

We pay our respect to First Nations elders past, present, and emerging, and support the Uluru Statement From The Heart. We acknowledge that the land, seas, skies and waterways of Australia were, are and always will be, that of the First Nations peoples.
