Occupational therapists and speech pathologists would spend 15 minutes assessing all prep students for neurodivergence under a state election policy.
The Victorian coalition has promised to place specialists in prep classrooms across the state from term one in 2028, if it wins the November state election.
Under the proposal, billed as the first of its kind in Australia, the allied health professionals would observe students, identify potential learning and developmental needs along with providing advice to parents.
The move would address a gap within Victoria's primary school nursing program and help kids unlock their potential, opposition education spokesman Brad Rowswell said.
"At the minimum, every one of those prep students or foundational students ... will have at least 15 minutes observation time," Mr Rowswell told reporters on Wednesday.
