#DRAM| Did you know that recognising a learner's individual needs can make a meaningful difference in their educational journey?

The Screening, Identification, Assessment and Support (SIAS) framework provides schools with a practical approach to understanding learning challenges and determining the assistance each learner requires.

From identifying barriers that may affect classroom participation to facilitating access to suitable resources, services and interventions, the framework strengthens inclusive education and creates opportunities for all learners to thrive.
