GEDSIEducation & early childhoodDisaster recovery
The project question
How can complementary perspectives improve identification of children who need support?
What the portfolio tells us
The pilot finds that physical disability screening alone can overlook children with developmental, behavioural and psychosocial difficulties. Parents and teachers offer complementary perspectives on children’s functioning.
Why it matters for practice
Recommendations for more inclusive assessments in emergency response, recovery and education.
