I was curious as to my home state's moves on supporting those with learning disabilities. It appears that Queensland has something similar to IEPs, called EAPs (Education Adjustment Programs). According to the state government's website:
The Education Adjustment Program (EAP) is a process for identifying and responding to the educational needs of students with disabilities. Adjustments are made for students with disabilities to enable them to access the curriculum, achieve curriculum outcomes and participate in school life.
The EAP supports schools to:
- identify students (from Prep-Year 12) who meet criteria for the EAP disability categories
- report the education adjustments they are providing to meet the teaching and learning needs of these students.
More information on Learning and Disability Support in the state of Queensland can be found at:

Specific Learning Disabilities Association Queensland is a parents group formed in Queensland that also has a lot of helpful information on supporting children with learning disabilities. They can be found at:http://www.speld.org.au/
