7381 (2024). Dr Lawrence Xu-Nan to the Minister of Education: What considerations, if any, have been made for neurodiverse students in implementing structured literacy for year 1-3 students?

Hon Erica Stanford: There is evidence that structured approaches to literacy have benefits for neurodiverse students, particularly those with dyslexia. Teachers are also expected to adapt teaching to meet the needs of individual students. Teaching guidance and support will help teachers to respond to the diversity of learners by recognising the way they engage and are motivated to learn, the way they process and comprehend information, and the way they navigate the learning environment and express what they know.
