What is a 504 Plan? A 504 plan is a plan of supports or accommodations for an individual with a disability which substantially limits one or more major life activity.
Who writes a 504 Plan? A team of individuals consisting of at least: a parent, the student if appropriate, the student’s teacher, a person knowledgeable about the evaluation data, the school’s Section 504 Coordinator, and a school administrator.
What does a 504 Plan do? A 504 Plan is part of a federal law. It is a plan for an individual with a disability to gain equal access to the educational program. In the educational setting, the 504 plan is usually a list of actions that the school and teachers take or implement to help the student.
Are a 504 and an IEP the same thing? No. Section 504 Plans and Individual Education Programs (IEP) are not the same. They are governed by different disability laws, have different standards, and use different requirements. Come discuss and learn more!
