In this episode, we focus on how schools can impute a disability. This is when a student is considered to have an undiagnosed disability that has a functional impact on their learning. Schools use evidence and data they have collected to inform their decision to impute a disability. This information is then used to shape reasonable adjustments to enable them to learn and participate in schooling alongside their classmates.    You’ll meet, Principal Rebecca Fahey who explains what kinds of indicators to look for and the various categories of evidence to collect. Head of Diverse Learning Helen Thomas discusses the benefits students experience once a disability is imputed and the appropriate adjustments are put in place. And inclusive practice consultant Saisha Khanna reminds us of the importance of cultural context when having conversations with parents around imputing disability.  Host/Producer: Serpil Şenelmiş, Written & Recorded Producer/ Audio Engineer: James Brandis, Written & Recorded This is an Education Services Australia podcast.
