In the context of the reform of the Italian system following Legislative Decree 62/2024, the Individual, Personalised and Participatory Life Plan takes on a central regulatory position. This paper aims to offer a theoretical-empirical analysis and an operational interpretation based on the current regulatory and scientific landscape. The objective is twofold: on the one hand, to increase conceptual understanding of the Life Project in relation to models of person-centred planning, supported decision-making and theories of quality of life; on the other hand, to provide a reflection on possible guidelines and recommendations for the design, implementation and evaluation of the Life Project across local contexts, starting from a focus on the regional model of Umbria. Through a systematic review of international literature on effectiveness, challenges and best practices, a reflection was carried out on strengths, organisational critical issues, training needs, outcome indicators and possible research perspectives. The contribution is aimed not only at social, educational and health service providers, researchers and the educational community, but also at policy makers and bodies that determine the implementation guidelines of national legislation.
