Effectiveness of Individualized Educational Planning in Enhancing Academic Performance among Students with Mild Intellectual Disabilities

Abstract

Individualised Education Programs (IEPs) are structured educational frameworks developed to address the unique learning needs of individuals with disabilities, particularly those with Mild Intellectual Disability (MID). The present systematic study aims to assess the impact of Individualised Education Programs on the academic achievement of children with MID. Through a critical examination of existing literature and empirical research, this study evaluates the effectiveness of IEPs in enhancing academic performance, identifies key challenges associated with their implementation, and provides recommendations for improving their practical application. The findings indicate that while IEPs significantly promote student engagement and learning outcomes, factors such as teacher preparedness, parental involvement, and availability of educational resources play a crucial role in determining their overall effectiveness. The review also highlights gaps in current research and suggests areas for future investigation to further strengthen the implementation and outcomes of IEPs.
