MEET OUR IPIP PARTNERS

WHAT IS AN IPIP?

Individual Program Inclusion Plans set forth an agency's goals and strategies for increasing its capacity to include children of ALL abilities. Just as a student has an Individual Education Plan (IEP), an ACT partner has an Individual Program Inclusion Plan (IPIP). IPIP goals are based on core program competencies for inclusion - called Pathways.

During the 2007-2008 project year, the ACT Resource Network will work with at least 17 providers, including 4 service partnerships. Memoranda of Understanding between the project and its IPIP partners establish the purpose of the partnership, goals, a commitment to work together to achieve them, responsibilities, timeframes and an Action Plan for Implementation.
