25.01.2022 Children and Young People with Disability Australia (CYDA) is the national representative organisation for children and young people with disability aged 0 to 25 years. CYDA is again conducting a national survey to gain information about school experiences of students with disability and to learn more about what support is being provided. CYDA strongly urges young people with disability and families to participate. The information obtained provides us with important informat...ion about the direct experiences of students with disability which we can then provide to government and other stakeholders to progress much needed reform. Please share the survey to enable CYDA to obtain a strong and informed response. For further information or assistance with completing the survey please contact CYDA. Please provide your email address, where indicated if you would like to receive a copy of the survey results. The survey is available at http://education2017.questionpro.com/
