Selecting the appropriate&nbsp;IEP&nbsp;requiresconsidering multiple dimensions: cognitive, physical, sensory conditions, emotional and collaborative functioning. To address this challenge, the study introduces a decision-support model that formalises the IEP selection process through a mathematical formula embedded in dedicated AI-powered software. The model is based on a screening questionnaire developed from scientific, medical, educational, and social criteria. Answers are processed by the formula to guide teachers toward the most suitable IEP among the three options within the Italian framework. This paper describes the structure&nbsp;of the questionnaire, presents the mathematical&nbsp;formula, and examines its validity&nbsp;using data collected from&nbsp;a sample of 90 primary and lower secondary school teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keywords<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Individualised&nbsp;educational&nbsp;plan;&nbsp;IEP;&nbsp;Decision-support&nbsp;model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bibliografia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ianes, D., Demo, H., &amp; Dell\u2019Anna, S.
