Education Adjustment Program

The department's Education Adjustment Program (EAP) is a process for identifying and responding to the educational needs of students with disability related to specified impairment areas. Adjustments are made for these students to enable them to access the curriculum, achieve curriculum outcomes and participate in school life.

The EAP process supports the ongoing cycle of documented data collection, planning, program development, intervention, evaluation and review.

The EAP supports schools to:

• understand and meet their obligations to make reasonable adjustments for students with disability
• identify students (from Prep-Year 12) who meet criteria for the EAP categories
• report the education adjustments they are making to meet the teaching and learning needs of these students.

These EAP web pages provide:

• information about the steps involved in the EAP process
  • verification
  • the EAP profile
  • validation
• downloadable forms required for verification
• information about the EAP, its history and development
• fact sheets about the EAP process
• contact information.

Important Information

The Education Adjustment Program (EAP) Profile 36 57kwill be available in AIMS from the beginning of Term 2 2013. The Education Adjustment Program (EAP) Profile 36 Fact Sheet 410k provides additional information for schools.

Verifications have commenced for 2013. Verifications are processed on an on-going basis during the year. Schools are asked to submit verification requests for students with disability during the year as documentation is prepared.

Prior to submitting any verification documents, including reviews, set the student's status on AIMS to 'awaiting verification'. Once documents have been submitted it is important for schools to check that the AIMS record has changed from 'awaiting verification' to 'assigned to verifier'. This confirms that the documentation has been received by the EAP Verification team.

For more support in AIMS processes please refer to Navigating AIMS on the AIMS website.
