« What do I do if I think my child has ADD or ADHD? :: My child is getting involved with friends that are not serious about school and her grades are dropping. How can you help? »What is 504?
Oct 05 | What is 504?
504 is a program available to children who do not qualify for special education but who may need assistance or accommodations. This includes children who have dyslexia. It is similar to an IEP in the following areas: evaluation, accommodations on standardized testing, and related services to assist in accessing regular education. It is different from an IEP in that there are no progress reports and there is limited discipline protection.
