This unit applies to vocational educational and training (VET) teachers, trainers, assessors, and other personnel who coordinate learning support and reasonable adjustment for learners. Their responsibilities include ensuring that the registered training organisation (RTO) is meeting its legislated obligations under the Disability Standards for Education and other federal or state/territory legislation. A person completing this unit is not qualified to be a disability support specialist.
