EAP Profile

School teams use the EAP Profile (new window) to record the frequency of the education adjustments being made to assist students with disabilities in accessing curriculum, achieving curriculum outcomes and participating in the life of the school.

The EAP Profile has been developed to describe the range and frequency of a sample of adjustments schools make for students with disabilities in Prep to Year 12.

The EAP Profile has the following underlying principles and assumptions:

• It is designed to report the adjustments currently being made for a student.
• It is not intended to capture every adjustment made for a student. It samples the adjustments schools make to meet a student's needs.
• It does not judge the appropriateness of recorded adjustments. Selecting and prioritising the appropriateness of education adjustments is integral to the way teachers plan and deliver a quality curriculum.

The EAP Profile focuses on six areas linked to education adjustments:

• Curriculum
• Communication
• Social Participation / Emotional Wellbeing
• Health and Personal Care
• Safety
• Learning Environment / Access.

The school team completes and submits the EAP Profile for approval on AIMS. Once submitted, the school team provides the principal with a printed copy of the completed EAP Profile. The principal approves the EAP Profile as an accurate record of the current education adjustments for the student by:

• signing the front cover of the printed EAP Profile
• approving the profile on AIMS.

Principals are accountable for approving the EAP Profile as there are resourcing implications of this approval. Principals of non-state schools are the accountable officer even though the recording and approving of the EAP Profile for non-state schools occurs on AIMS through the DET district office.

The signed copy of the EAP Profile is to be kept in the student's school file.

EAP Profile Review

All students must have their EAP Profile reviewed and resubmitted on AIMS within 3 years of the approval date. AIMS will automatically record a review date 3 years past the approval date. School teams can choose to review the EAP Profile within this 3 year time period. It is advisable for the EAP Profile to be reviewed annually to ensure it is a true reflection of the adjustment currently occurring for the student.

Expiry of EAP Profile Records

All EAP Profiles on AIMS that are 2 years past the review date will have their profile status converted to 'Profile Expired ' and be inactivated. For the EAP Profile record to be considered for future resource downloads, a new EAP Profile will need to be completed and approved on AIMS.

The EAP Profile will also be inactivated with a status of 'Verification Expired' if a student's only disability category record is inactivated because of an expired verification review. In this case the verification process and the EAP Profile will need to be completed for the student's AIMS record to be considered for resource downloads.

The Profile Review Date Report on AIMS can be used to assist school personnel to plan their review process. This report allows the school personnel to track their EAP Profile reviews by identifying EAP Profiles that have:

• review due in the next 12 months
• review dates that have past or expired
• been inactivated due to an expired verification.

Profile Approval

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.
