DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF PEIS: GOOD PRACTICES

Abstract

This study investigated how the Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) was implemented in schools and what were its impacts on the teaching-learning process of students with intellectual disabilities. The general objective was to analyze the application of the IEP, identifying its benefits and challenges. The methodology consisted of a qualitative bibliographic review, with the analysis of academic texts, scientific articles and official documents. The results showed that PEI promoted the inclusion and academic and social development of students, but faced significant challenges, such as the lack of adequate resources and the work overload of teachers. The analysis of the data indicated that the personalization of teaching facilitated the learning and participation of students in school activities. However, the lack of continuing education and an adequate support network compromised the effectiveness of the EIP. Concluding remarks highlighted the need for education policies that provide ongoing support and sufficient resources for educators. The study concluded that the IEP is an effective tool for school inclusion, provided it is implemented with the necessary resources and support, and suggested that more research is needed to complement the findings and improve educational practices.
