Education Adjustment Program

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

The EAP supports schools to:

identify students (from Prep-Year 12) who meet criteria for the EAP disability categories
report the education adjustments they are providing to meet the teaching and learning needs of these students.

This site is the gateway for:

information about the steps involved in the EAP process
- verification
- the EAP profile and
- validation
downloadable forms required throughout the process
information about the EAP, its history and development
frequently asked questions about the EAP process
contact information.

Important Information

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 the student's status on AIMS must be set 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.

Expiry of EAP Records on AIMS

All Education Adjustment Program (EAP) verification and profile records recorded on the Adjustment Information Management System (AIMS) that are two years past the review date will have their status set to 'expired' and will be inactive.
Only one EAP profile for each student will be able to be approved by the principal in each school year. If another EAP profile is submitted for approval during the same school year, regional approval will need to be requested by the school principal through the regional office.

Schools are reminded to print the Review Reports from AIMS to ensure verifications and EAP profiles remain current. Please see Navigating AIMS on the AIMS website to assist the preparation of these reports.

The following review reports can be downloaded from AIMS:
