Aims
Grounded in a human rights approach, the Bachelor of Disability and Developmental Education is focused on promoting the rights of people with disability to inclusive lives and to building an effective and respectful support workforce allied with this aim.
The course provides students with work-relevant skills and knowledge they can apply as Developmental Educators and across a wide range of contexts in disability, health and human services fields. The multidisciplinary focus of the program scaffolds student learning from multiple perspectives, including special education, psychology, philosophy, sociology, and health. Work integrated learning provides opportunities for students to apply learning in practice throughout their studies.
