What is the difference between public school MT and private MT?
School MT services must prove to be required for a student to benefit and make progress in their educational programs when determined by assessment results using the SEMTAP. Private MT can address other areas of a disability that do not interfere with education and qualification is not based on SEMTAP assessment results. How can I find out more about school based MT?
