The AVCC guidelines for Students with a Disability require that: design of curricula should be inclusive and student centred; the delivery and assessment methods of courses should be inclusive; and all learning environments should provide opportunities for equitable participation for students with a disability.
More information for teaching staff about creating inclusive teaching and learning environments for students is available on the Disabilty website.
