Description

ABLEWA (Abilities Based Learning Education, Western Australia) uses curriculum materials and the ABLES assessment tool to support teachers in decision making around assessing student ‘readiness to learn’ and planning for content where a modified curriculum is assessed as being appropriate, for a student with a significant intellectual disability and/or complex high support needs.

ABLEWA Stages A – D curriculum materials may provide students with a significant intellectual disability, access to content that supports their progress towards the learning prescribed at Pre-primary level in the WA Outline. ABLEWA, if deemed appropriate, may be used as a modified curriculum as part of an Individual Education Plan or can be used in conjunction with content from the WA Outline as part of meeting the needs of students in all settings who require a significantly modified program due to complex needs.

This PL session will familiarise teachers with the ABLES assessment tool in determining suitability for individual students and will explore the ABLEWA Stages A-D curriculum materials, online professional learning course and the ABLEWA resources available. Teachers will also have an opportunity to share in inclusive, best practice strategies for teaching students with high support needs in their classrooms.
