What is an ILP®?

At Legacy of Love, we develop Individualized Life Plans® (ILPs) for the autistic member of your family. It serves in a similar way as an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) does in guiding a child’s education. However, the ILP is much more comprehensive. It is developed following a thorough, multi-disciplinary assessment conducted by an experienced team of autism professionals.

The ILP is designed to provide structure and resources to address the full range of the autistic child’s needs. From medical and clinical needs, to education, socialization, recreation, vocation, housing and independent living skills, the ILP guides the child’s life through every stage.
