This study addresses the relevance of curricular and methodological adaptations in the Individualized Education Plan (IEP), highlighting its importance for the inclusion of students with disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), or learning difficulties. Based on the theoretical foundations of authors such as Maria Teresa Mantoan, Cláudia Werneck, Romeu Kazumi Sassaki, Vygotsky, Howard Gardner, Basil Bernstein, and Paulo Freire, the article explores the concept of IEP and its educational implications. The difference between small and large-scale curricular adaptations is discussed, as well as methodological strategies that promote effective and inclusive learning. The research also analyzes the crucial role of diagnostic and continuous assessment in the context of the IEP, as well as the importance of collaboration between teachers, Specialized Educational Services (SES), family, and the multidisciplinary team for the success of inclusive education. The study concludes that the effective implementation of the IEP, supported by a collaborative partnership, contributes significantly to building a more equitable and inclusive educational environment.
