The team decides whether or not to proceed with development of an
individualized program plan (IPP). The meeting may highlight the need for a
change in instructional strategies or evaluation methods while maintaining
the objectives of a prescribed course. When this occurs, a statement outlining
adaptation of strategies, evaluation methods and support services required
should be recorded in the student’s cumulative file. However, when the
objective of provincially approved curriculum must be changed to meet the
needs of the student, an IPP becomes necessary. An IPP may focus on
behavioral as well as curriculum outcomes to address student behaviours
which may inhibit learning. At this point, the chairperson designates
responsibility areas to the team members to develop the individualized
program plan according to the priorities, goals and approaches set at the
meeting, or to collect further information if necessary.
