Dual enrolment, or enrolling part time in two different types of schools, can be a valuable approach to schooling as it enables children to participate in an educational program that meets their characteristic needs. Many parents choose a dual enrolment so that their children benefit from the different experiences and resources that the different schools have to offer. Options for a dual enrolment might be that your child spends part of their time in a specialised support school, and part of their time in another school (for example mainstream, distance, or home-school). Another option might be that they spend part of their time in a mainstream school, and another part in distance or home education.
