Glossary of disability and school acronyms
The acronyms of disability and school form a language of their own: MDPH (departmental disability office), AESH (classroom support assistant), PPS (individualised schooling plan), PAP (personalised support plan), RQTH (recognition of disabled worker status), ULIS (inclusive school unit), SESSAD (home-based special education and care service). For a family discovering this world, they are one more barrier. This glossary brings together the acronyms most useful day to day, sorted by purpose, each with its full name and a one-sentence explanation, no jargon. Keep it close for a meeting, a file, or a first appointment.
