SUPPORT FOR TEACHERS & SCHOOLS
There are over 307,000 neurodiverse students in Australia, who are supported by 356,000 teachers and specialist staff. These dedicated professionals have increasingly become responsible for supporting learners with emotional and behavioural challenges in addition to their other responsibilities, and while effective tools exist to reduce this workload they are yet to be made available to most educators.
