We understand that every student has individual needs that may impact on their ability to study, and we are committed to supporting students who have a disability.
This includes students who:
- Are blind or vision impaired.
- Are deaf or hard of hearing.
- Have a chronic medical condition, (e.g. lupus, epilepsy, Crohn’s disease, diabetes, cancer)
- Have a physical disability or difficulties with mobility or with fine motor skills.
- Have an intellectual disability.
- Have a mental illness.
- Have Autism Spectrum Disorder.
- Have an acquired brain injury.
- Have difficulties with learning including ADHD or dyslexia.
Even if you feel that you do not need assistance it is recommended that you meet with one of our team for a chat about the support available. Although it is always best to contact a Teacher Consultant before you enrol, you can do this at any time during your course.
Appointments with Teacher Consultants are free, and information provided is confidential.
We will you make the most of your ability
Starting student journey is a already a huge commitment and IIE is committed to help you through your journey by supporting you with you needs.
By letting us know about your support needs we will be able to help you get the right support from the beginning of your course.
A Teacher Consultant will need to verify at your first appointment that you are eligible for a fee exemption, so you should take documentation from a medical professional, rehabilitation consultant or your school that confirms you have support needs.
Remember, if you are not sure about any of this, please ask us by email: support@iie.edu.au or call us.
