Special Needs Help
LLN and other Support Services
Language, literacy and numeracy (LLN) support will be identified on the enrolment application. Where extensive support is needed, specialised LLN classes may be set up which may attract an additional fee.
If your LLN deficiency will clearly inhibit the achievement of learning outcomes, enrolment may be declined, but you can reapply when you have attained proficiency in these skills. In the interim we can refer you to an organisation that can assist you in improving these skills.
Disability support;
Wherever possible, 'reasonable' adjustments’ are made to meet the individual needs of a Student with a disability.
At POLLARD INSTITUTE, we can assist you with:
-
Making training and assessment materials and methods more accessible

-
Adapting the physical environment and equipment to better suit the Student
