Disability Inclusion Profiles in Victorian Schools: How Occupational Therapist’s Can Make a Difference

Disability Inclusion Profiles (DIPs) are essential tools that help Victorian schools understand and support each student’s unique needs. This blog explores what DIPs are, why they are important, and how occupational therapists (OTs) play a vital role in creating them. By assessing a child’s functional abilities and collaborating with teachers and families, OTs ensure DIPs are practical, evidence-based, and student-centred. The blog also invites schools and families to connect with The Therapy Network to develop or enhance DIPs, fostering inclusive learning environments where every child can thrive.

In occupational therapy, it’s easy to focus on the skills kids need—self-care, communication, academics—but their wants matter too. Leisure activities, from Pokémon cards to baking to gaming, are powerful tools for building confidence, social skills, and emotional regulation. This blog explores how supporting a child’s interests is not “just play,” but a meaningful path to connection, growth, and thriving.
