LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION
QUESTION NUMBER 213
Children with Disabilities - College Students
(1) How many students in the ACT who had completed high school were there with (a) high; (b) low or (c) medium support needs for each year since 1989.
(2) How many were enrolled in college.
MR STEFANIAK- the answer to Ms McRae's question is:
(1) Students with disabilities in ACT government school settings are resourced on an individual needs basis and not classified into particular categories. Information and figures on this are not readily available as the units for students with disabilities at Phillip College and Dickson College did not begin until 1991 and 1995 respectively.
(2) The Phillip College Unit for students with disabilities was established as a pilot project in 1991. That unit is staffed to provide places for 30 students and has been at full capacity since 1991. The program at Dickson College began in 1995 with 13 students initially, and 22 students as the year progressed. In 1996 there are 30 students enrolled.
