Getting School Accommodations
Your child isn't getting the support they need at school and you don't know your rights
Steps
- Learn your rights: schools have a legal duty to make reasonable adjustments for children with additional needs
- Request a meeting with the learning support team and ask for your child to be formally supported
- Suggest specific accommodations: extra time, movement breaks, visual schedules, modified homework
- Put all requests in writing (email) so there's a record
- If school refuses, contact a parent advocacy service for free, impartial advice
What you need
Knowledge of your rights, written communication, parent advocacy contact details
Why it works
Schools have a legal duty to make reasonable adjustments, but many parents don't know what to ask for or how to frame it. Having specific, practical asks — rather than vague concerns — makes it much easier for schools to act. Written communication creates accountability and a paper trail.
Age guidance
Relevant from school entry onwards. Accommodations should be reviewed and updated each year as your child's needs evolve.
Real-world example
A parent went to a meeting with the learning support team with three specific requests: a fidget tool, a visual timetable, and a 5-minute warning before transitions. All three were agreed and implemented within a week. The specificity made it easy for the school to say yes.
Troubleshooting
- You don't need a formal diagnosis to access school support in most jurisdictions
- If school says they 'can't' accommodate, ask what they CAN do and escalate if needed
- Keep a paper trail of all communications. It matters if things escalate
