Study Notes
Individual Support Plan (ISP)
- An action plan designed to address the support needs of a learner experiencing barriers to learning.
- Aims to minimize or eliminate barriers, enabling the learner to perform at their best.
Characteristics of an ISP
- Must be SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-framed.
- Developed through a collaborative and trans-disciplinary approach involving the class teacher, learner support coordinator, and parents/caregivers.
Types of ISP
- Designed to address educational/learning barriers (e.g., language difficulties, numeracy difficulties).
- Designed to address psycho-social barriers (e.g., poverty, child abuse, drug abuse, bullying).
Planning an ISP
- Involves a planning sequence to facilitate optimum learning outcomes.
- No one-size-fits-all approach; each ISP is unique to the learner.
Planning Sequence of an ISP
- Step 1: Understand the learner through building a relationship and gathering information from parents and former teachers.
- Step 2: Set goals that are long-term, social, academic, and skills-based, focusing on the learner's strengths.
- Step 3: Develop a plan that addresses goals, is age-appropriate, and adopts a holistic approach.
- Step 4: Implement the plan, focusing on repetition, learner understanding, and building self-esteem.
Guarding Principles for ISP
- Recognize that what works for one learner may not work for another.
- Involve parents as primary educators in the process.
- Support the family in raising a child with learning difficulties.
Intervention Principles for an ISP
- Motivation: promote engagement in the learning process.
- Social Value: focus on promoting appropriate behavior.
- Structuring: provide a predictable, structured environment.
Reviewing the ISP
- Review progress, making comments on the learner's performance.
- Interventions will continue to be reviewed and adjusted as needed.
- Recognize and accept individual differences in development, culture, home environment, and learning style.
