Specialised facilities in these schools may include sensory areas, accessible play spaces and wider corridors. They may also include spaces with improved acoustics and lighting.

Inclusive education involves students, in collaboration with their peers and/or carers, in decision-making processes as respected partners in education.
H: Human rights focused:
Inclusive education is supported by and is the realisation of a human rights based approach to education.

A: Acknowledges strengths:
Inclusive education recognises that each child and young person is unique. It focuses on a strengths-based, personalised approach to education that celebrates and welcomes difference to maximize learning, engagement and wellbeing outcomes.

Inclusive education enables schools to uphold legal obligations to make reasonable adjustments for all students with disability. Reasonable adjustments assist all students to participate in education on the same basis as their peers without a disability.

Inclusive education uses contemporary evidence-based practices known to be effective in responding to individual student needs and improving student outcomes.
