Association for Children with a Disability

Association for Children with a Disability (ACD) is Victoria’s leading support service for families with a child with any type of disability or developmental delay. ACD exists to improve the lives of children with a disability and their families, by empowering them to secure the best possible outcomes for their children. We do this by providing accurate information about their rights and entitlement to services and supports and by offering advocacy advice when issues arise. Our services include a free telephone support line, free workshops which cover topics such as how to access disability services, education planning for children with a disability, and how to deal with educational transitions and milestones. We also run development workshops for professionals such as teachers and healthcare providers to improve their understanding of children with disability and their needs. Many ACD staff are themselves parents of children with a disability. This lived experience gives us a unique insight into the issues families face and enables us to be empathetic, well informed and supportive. Above all, we are guided by the belief that children with disability deserve the same rights and opportunities as every other child across Victoria.
