Resources
Children with Disability NZ shares practical information, inclusion resources and helpful links designed to support disabled children, families, schools and communities across New Zealand.
Helping families find useful information
Finding reliable disability information can sometimes feel overwhelming. Families are often expected to navigate services, support systems, education pathways and community access while also caring for their children.
This resource section has been created to help make information easier to find and easier to understand.
What our resources focus on
Our network shares practical information focused on accessibility, inclusion, sensory understanding and community participation.
Family Support
Information designed to support parents, caregivers and whānau as they navigate disability-related challenges and everyday life.
Inclusive Learning
Resources that help children, educators and communities better understand disability, sensory needs and inclusion.
Accessible Communities
Guidance and advocacy around accessible playgrounds, public spaces, inclusion and real-world accessibility.
Part of a wider inclusion network
Children with Disability NZ is connected to a wider network of inclusion-focused websites, including Inclusive World NZ, Accessible Playgrounds NZ, Sensory Sensations NZ and Inclusive Playground Equipment NZ.
Together, these websites help provide practical tools, educational resources, sensory information and advocacy content that supports disabled children and their families.
Helpful New Zealand disability information
Families may also find support and information through organisations and services across New Zealand.
Disability Support Services
Information about disability support funding, NASC services, equipment and support systems in New Zealand.
Autism & Sensory Support
Organisations such as Autism NZ and Altogether Autism provide autism information, education and community support.
Advocacy & Community Support
New Zealand has a range of disability advocacy and support organisations helping families access information, services and community connection.
Building a more inclusive future
Resources matter because understanding leads to inclusion. When families, educators, councils and communities have better information, they are more able to create spaces where disabled children feel welcomed and supported.
Our goal is to continue building practical resources that help strengthen inclusion, accessibility and belonging throughout New Zealand.
Supporting children, families and communities
Children with Disability NZ exists to help make inclusion visible, practical and easier to understand in everyday life.
Through advocacy, resources and connected websites, we continue working towards a future where disabled children can participate fully in their communities.
