NEED HELP WITH A 504 PLAN?

I HAVE YOU COVERED THERE TOO!

What Is a 504 Plan?


A 504 plan ensures equal access ​to education for students with ​disabilities. 504 plans focus on ​accommodations rather than ​modifications.

What’s in a 504 Plan?


Accommodations: Changes that ​don’t alter what students learn but ​adjust how they learn.

Services: Some students may receive ​services like speech-language ​therapy or study skills classes.



Eligibility and Process:


Students with disabilities that ​significantly impact their ​daily activities can qualify for ​a 504 plan. 504 plans are ​essential for ensuring that all ​students thrive in school, ​regardless of their unique ​needs.

Stop losing sleep ​over IEP meetings!

Your child and your family need ​you for so many things. From ​deciding what's for dinner to ​scheduling therapy ​appointments, and running ​errands on a Saturday.


School struggles should not be ​stealing so much of your energy.

questions?

  1. Do you work in ​my​ state?

Yes, I can help parents ​in all 50 states. Majority ​of IEP struggles are ​rooted in Federal Law ​that governs all states. If ​I need to reference ​anything specific for ​your state, I will do so ​and I have resources in ​all states to support any ​st​ate specific questions.

2. Do you attend ​IEP m​eetings?

Yes, I can attend IEP ​meetings. However, my ​goal is to give you all the ​tools you need to be the ​voice for your child. My ​role at the IEP table is to ​support you and make ​sure your voice is heard, ​requests are respected, ​and proper decisions ​are made.

3. Do you give ​legal advice?

I’m not a lawyer and I ​don’t give legal advice. I ​can absolutely use the ​foundation of the law to ​support you, your IEP ​requests, and help you ​negotiate for an ​appropriate IEP for your ​ch​ild.
