Teaching during COVID-19

Inclusive education CYDA as the co-chair of the Australian Coalition for Inclusive Education (ACIE) wrote to the Disability Royal Commission to raise with our collective concerns about the discrimination and neglect currently facing children and young people with disability during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the risk of increased violence and abuse. CYDA is convening weekly COVID-19 meetings with the ACIE and other disability advocates working with children and young people with disability and their families around Australia. ACIE has also developed a resource Learning at home during a time of crisis: COVID19 (Coronavirus). This resource has been developed to help parents support their children while schools are pupil free or closed in these uncertain times. This resource is to assist children and young people with disability and families to organise and plan for learning at home during the COVID-19 pandemic.
