PEI: STRATEGIES FOR INDIVIDUALIZED EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

This study addressed the impact of Individualized Educational Planning (IEP) on the inclusion of students with intellectual disabilities, with the general objective of analyzing the strategies and practices associated with IEP and its effectiveness in the educational process. A literature review methodology was used to collect and analyze data from different relevant academic sources. The results revealed that the IEP contributed to the adaptation of the curriculum and teaching methodologies to the individual needs of the students, which improved their participation and academic performance. However, challenges related to lack of training for educators and institutional resistance were identified, which impacted the effectiveness of the implementation of the IEP. The analysis indicated that, despite the benefits, the implementation of PEI faced limitations that need to be overcome to optimize its practices. The final considerations highlighted the need for continuous improvement of PEI strategies, with an emphasis on the training of professionals and the exploration of new methodologies and technologies. It has been suggested that future research address these areas to complement the findings and improve educational inclusion practices.
