INFORMATION ABOUT FUNDING

Speech & Language Development Australia has a long standing service agreement with Queensland Department of Education through the Specialist Disability Support in Schools (SDSS) program and Non-State Special Needs Organisation Program (NSSNOP).

This funding enables our School Support Services team to support verified students from Prep to Year 12 when language is their primary difficulty accessing the curriculum. The program aims to improve educational opportunities and learning outcomes for students with disability.
