Description of Invention

Inclusive education plays a critical role in ensuring equal opportunities for all students, including those with special needs. In Malaysia, the Individualized Education Plan (IEP) has been implemented as a vital tool to support students with disabilities by providing tailored educational strategies to meet their unique needs. However, the traditional paper-based approach to IEP management has proven time-consuming and prone to errors, which limits its effectiveness. In response to these challenges, this research proposes the development of a mobile application that digitalizes the IEP framework. The application aims to enhance accessibility, collaboration, and efficiency in managing IEPs, offering an innovative solution to support the academic and social growth of special needs students in Malaysian public schools
