the parents of private schoolers are usually rich and have money for diagnosises and assesments. sometimes the private schools will also push the students to apply for disability provisions to get an advantage i suppose, like i really doubt 1 in 3 reddam house students really need rest breaks, but 1 in 3 get disability provisions. also public schools tend to have less resources for submitting and dealing with disability provisions, for example i go to one of the better funded public schools, but the school still turned in my disability provision application late
The high cost of providing disability provisions, including up to a third of students at wealthy schools, is covered by the NSW Education Standards Authority.
