Additional Guidance

Individual Program Plan (IPP) Counselling and Learning Support

An IPP works on providing accommodations and strategies, which supports a student’s learning and/or social emotional needs. The IPP is based on a diagnostic assessment from a qualified professional. It is in the form of a Psycho-Educational assessment and may include cognitive and psychological assessments as well as medical and health related assessments.

Each learner (with or without an identified special education code) has the right to access accommodations (e.g., time, assistive technology, tools, space, equipment, alternative formats), also referred to as instructional supports, that remove barriers to learning tasks and assessment, without consequence to grades.
