Who fills out the document for a child attending special school or early intervention program?
Early childhood educators in funded kindergarten programs are best placed to coordinate the statement. However, in some cases it may be more appropriate for another early childhood professional to coordinate the Statement (e.g. when a child is spending a significant amount of time in an early intervention service or with an identified support worker). In these circumstances a discussion should be held with the family and an agreement reached between all parties about who should coordinate the Statement. If the person who is nominated to coordinate the statement is not the educator in the funded kindergarten program, that individual is still encouraged to provide information for inclusion in the Statement.
