Children who are educated at home are entitled to the same
non-school based special education resources as other special needs
students. If children are demonstrating significant difficulties
they can access assessment screening and programmes through Group
Special Education (GSE) which includes access to:
speech and language, physiotherapy, and occupational therapy
assessments,
support for moderate physical disabilities, and
advice and guidance from specialist advisors or
psychologists.
To access these resources students need to meet the same criteria
as school based students.
For students with high and complex needs please refer to question 2
below. Application forms and referral information can be obtained
through contacting the local office of the Ministry of Education
and asking to speak to the Service Manager of Group Special
Education.
