A ring binder with 80 activities to work on 11 subjects (Italian, mathematics, history, geography, science, technology, English, music, art and image, physical education, civic education) that braid the four dimensions of the IEP with the specific competency goal of lowel secondary school. The activities are designed to be accessible – with adaptations and accommodations – even for students with disabilities, to enable them to achieve the personalized goals set in the four dimensions of their IEP.

A binder to personalize

The volume, in addition to giving teachers, both curricular and support, the opportunity to create additional worksheets starting from those proposed, was born from the idea of ​​offering teachers the possibility of creating their own workbook, created ad hoc by each according to the needs and requirements of the student and the class, choosing from the worksheets present those most suited to the type of work they wish to carry out.

These will also be periodically integrated with new releases, so as to address, in the most detailed way possible, the topics inherent to the competence goals of each discipline through fun and stimulating activities, materials and operational games.

IEP – Individualized Educational Plan


What is the IEP

An Individualized Education Plan (or programme) is also known as an IEP. This is a plan or programme developed to ensure that a child with an identified disability or learning disorder receives specialized instruction and related services.

The IEP, therefore, is the tool for inclusive teaching: a personalized plan that promotes the scholastic inclusion of students with difficulties in all phases of the educational programme - from nursery school to secondary school. The main objective of the IEP is to provide these pupils with learning and development support that takes into account their specific needs and abilities.

Furthermore, the IEP is a fundamental tool that connects schools and families, and any health professionals involved.

What is indicated in the IEP:

  • The educational objectives that you intend to achieve;
  • The tools and activities that will be used to achieve the objectives;
  • The evaluation criteria;
  • The methods of collaboration between school, family and other extracurricular institutions.

IEP and Erickson… in Italy

With law 104 of 1992, the IEP began to play a key role within the school world. But it is with the Ministerial Decree of 2020 and the related Guidelines that the single national IEP model was introduced, and then updated with an Inter Ministerial Decree in 2023.

For years Erickson has been responsible for drafting the most complete and up-to-date materials to compile the national IEP model, and is therefore a point of reference for all teachers working in Italian schools. The Erickson volumes dedicated to the IEP constitute a complete work programme for all school levels. In Italy they have sold over 80,000 copies.

The key concepts of the IEP

BIO-PSYCHO-SOCIAL MODEL The IEP deals with the well-being of the student in all areas: physical, psychological and social.

OWG The Operational Working Group on inclusion, made up of the class council, manager, external experts from the healthcare world, parents and students.

FAMILY INVOLVEMENT With a view to school-family educational alliance and sharing of the educational programme.

LIFE-ADULTITY PROJECT Looking at the student from a broader perspective, towards a horizon that outlines their adult life.
