prep enrolment
Please visit our school and discuss your child’s need and why you think they may be eligible to attend.
A child with special or additional needs entering a Department of
Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD) school may be
eligible for additional funding to provide additional assistance
through the Program for Students with Disabilities (PSD). This applies
to mainstream schools and special settings.
The application process can be quite lengthy and includes collection of
information about the child including assessments and reports
addressing the area of need. It is important this this process is
started as soon as possible with the school.
Once a child is funded through Program for Students with Disabilities (PSD), the funding will move with them if they transfer to another Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD) school.
Application Process for Enrolling at Prep Level
Visit the school and discuss your child’s need and why you think they may be eligible to attend the school. At this time we will collect information regarding your child to start the process. Paperwork will be provided by Lewis & Lewis and is to be completed by:
- The parent/s
- Your child’s kindergarten or early childhood setting
- The school
You will be asked to bring in any information you have regarding your child to show they have had a history of issues. This is important to support your application. We will ask for current (within 12 months of when the application is submitted) assessment reports in your child’s area of need. This often includes:
- Speech pathology
- Occupational therapy
- Physiotherapy
- Paediatrician
- Ophthalmologist
- Audiologist
- Psychologist
- Counsellor
A letter of diagnosis from a paediatrician is required. Where a child does not have a diagnosis a paediatrician will be able to explain the challenges your child faces and their needs.
A Student Support Group Meeting (SSG) will be held to discuss your child’s needs and to complete an Educational Needs Questionnaire (ENQ). We will be notified of the outcome of the application and whether your child is eligible to attend Sale Specialist School.
