Thematic Analysis was employed to identify and interpret the patterns themes and meanings emerging from participants. Additionally, our research highlights that the success of the Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) greatly depends on aligning its objectives with the lifelong learning path of the student. This involves active participation from all stakeholders. The clarity in understanding the purpose and goals of each stakeholder plays a crucial role in enhancing the effectiveness of the IEP. Importantly, the focus is on developing practical academic skills that go beyond theoretical knowledge and have real-world applications, seamlessly integrating them into the students educational journey. By instilling competencies with tangible, lifelong relevance, we contribute to a more meaningful and lasting educational experience, ultimately raising the overall quality of teaching and learning.

This paper advises future researchers to provide a comprehensive understanding of Individualized Educational Plans (IEPS) and its impact to academic advancement, shedding light on how these plans should be effectively implemented for all stakeholders.
