Why Your Child’s Individual Learning Plan Meeting Matters – And How to Be Ready 

If your child has an Individual Learning Plan (ILP), you’ve probably heard about the upcoming meeting with their school. These meetings aren’t just a formality—they’re a vital opportunity to ensure your child gets the support they need to thrive. 

Why Are ILP Meetings Important? 

In Australian schools, ILPs are designed to provide tailored strategies for students who need additional support—whether for learning difficulties, disabilities, or unique educational needs. The meeting brings together teachers, parents, and sometimes specialists to review progress, set goals, and agree on adjustments. It’s your chance to have a voice in your child’s education and make sure their plan reflects their strengths and challenges. 

What Should You Expect? 

Schools are expected to involve families in the ILP process. This means you’ll be asked to share insights about your child, discuss what’s working, and raise any concerns. But these meetings can feel overwhelming if you’re not sure what to say—or what to ask.
