The intervention plan: A process and agreements

Although variously defined, the Special Education Plan (SEP) is a widely used planning and consultation tool in Quebec schools, playing a major role in the organization of special education services. Indeed, the Special Education Policy confirms that the intervention plan remains the preferred tool for meeting the needs of students recognized as handicapped or as having social maladjustments or learning disabilities (ADHD), and stresses the importance of concerted action, evaluation of the results of intervention and the effectiveness of services.

The development, implementation and revision of an IEP require and mobilize a variety of knowledge and different stakeholders with numerous tasks, each distinct from the others, to achieve a common goal: the student's success in terms of education, socialization and qualification.

This book elucidates the nature and approach of a PI. It not only specifies what needs to be done, but also describes how to do it. The author brings together a wealth of knowledge and knowledge transfer tools that can be used as a common framework to help clarify how IPs are developed, implemented and revised.

Intended for the various teaching and non-teaching professional agents, trainers, administrative or support staff in schools and school boards, and students in training, concerned with the educational and qualifying success of the learner, this book will remain an indispensable resource and tool for practice and training environments.
