• An awareness of the incidence and prevalence of common disorders in Australian classrooms
• Understanding what science can tell us about the physical, cognitive, and psychological factors that relate to the disorders
• Understanding how these disorders might impact learning and behaviour
• Awareness of reliable resources to further understanding and responsiveness in your practice
