Request Professional Development and Support

Disability Services Support Unit (DSSU) services can be requested by raising priorities through regional processes or direct to DSSU using the Request for Support form.

Follow the instructions on the form and submit through your region to the Disability Services Support Unit.

Responses to individual school requests will occur after DSSU liaises with the region to tailor support that increases local capacity and will generally involve DSSU staff working with local specialists. These services increase the expertise of local specialists in order to improve student outcomes.
