Support for a Child with Special Needs
विशेष आवश्यकता भएको बच्चाको लागि सहयोग
Context: A parent discusses their child's learning difficulties with the school's special education coordinator.
Coordinator
Thank you for meeting with me. Your child's teacher has noticed they're finding reading quite challenging. Have you noticed this at home?
अभिभावक
हो, उसलाई पढ्न गाह्रो छ। अक्षर चिन्न सक्छ तर शब्दहरू मिलाउन गाह्रो मान्छ। म चिन्तित छु।
Coordinator
We'd like to do a learning assessment to understand where the difficulty lies. This will help us create a personalised learning plan for your child.
अभिभावक
त्यसको लागि कुनै खर्च लाग्छ?
Coordinator
The school assessment is free. If a more detailed assessment is needed, we may refer you to a specialist, and you can get a Medicare rebate for that through a GP referral.
अभिभावक
उसलाई कक्षामा अतिरिक्त मद्दत पाइन्छ?
Coordinator
Yes. If the assessment shows a learning disability, your child may qualify for NDIS funding or school-based support including a learning support teacher and additional classroom aide time.
अभिभावक
NDIS भनेको के हो?
Coordinator
The National Disability Insurance Scheme provides funding for people with permanent and significant disability. It can cover therapy, equipment, and educational support.
अभिभावक
मैले कसरी आवेदन गर्ने?
Coordinator
You apply through the NDIS website or call them. Your child's GP and the school assessment report will support the application. I can help you with the paperwork.
