About the Diverse Learners Hub
The Diverse Learners Hub is a key initiative of Disability Inclusion(opens in a new window). It's also the flagship of the Autism Education Strategy.
The Victorian Government is investing nearly $1.6 billion through its Disability Inclusion reforms in government schools to provide extra support for children with disability.
This aligns with the government’s Education State vision for Victoria, creating great schools that are inclusive of every student who enters through the school gate.
The Hub will equip school leaders and teachers to meet the needs of 'diverse learners', with a focus on students with:
- autism
- attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- dyslexia and
- dyscalculia.
The Hub is a centre of excellence that provides evidence-based advice, resources and guidance on meeting the learning and wellbeing needs and aspirations of diverse learners.
The Hub will engage with leading researchers to access and communicate evidence-based best practice research on learning diversity.
It will provide coaching and support to school leaders on whole-school changes. This will support, welcome and include diverse learners.
