If a child requires extra help and does not receive support from the students with disabilities program they can still benefit from an individual learning plan. A
. individual learning plan works like a map of how a student will get from a starting point to a desired end point or goal. Each plan should be individualized for the specific student to address aptitude, needs and aspirations.Everyone involved in your child's education should support the individual learning plan. Your child's teacher, principal, teaching aides and yourself should be involved in creating your child's individual learning plan. There are many tests and assessments that will need to be done to determine what areas your child is struggling with.

You are a critical part of helping the support team at school recognize your child's strengths and weaknesses.A individual learning plan should be reassessed on a regular basis. This can assure that the current resources being used are helping the student reach their goals.

It needs to be frequently assessed for maximum benefits.The goal of a individual learning plan is to get the student to the point where they will no longer need extra resources to meet education requirements.
