IEP and 504 Plans

What are IEP and 504 Plans?

Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) and 504 Plans are legal documents designed to ensure that students with disabilities receive the necessary accommodations and support to succeed in their education. These plans provide a framework for meeting the unique needs of each student and outline specific goals, accommodations, and services that must be provided to support their learning.

IEPs are developed for students who have been identified as having a disability that impacts their ability to learn. The plan outlines the student’s strengths and needs, as well as specific goals and objectives that are designed to meet those needs. 504 Plans are developed for students who have a disability that limits a major life activity such as learning, walking, or seeing. These plans outline the accommodations and modifications that will be provided to support the student’s access to education.

Frequently Asked Questions for Parents

At Cognitive Solutions, we understand that the process of creating an IEP or 504 Plan can be overwhelming for parents. Here are some frequently asked questions that may help you understand the process better:

Who is eligible for an IEP or 504 Plan?

Students who have been identified as having a disability that impacts their ability to learn or access education are eligible for these plans. This includes learning disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorders, and social emotional disabilities such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD.

How are IEP and 504 Plans created?

The process begins with a referral for an evaluation. Once the evaluation is complete, a meeting is held to determine if the student is eligible for services. If eligible, the team works together to develop the plan.

What types of accommodations are included in these plans?

Accommodations can include a wide range of supports, such as extended time on tests, preferential seating, or access to assistive technology.

Importance of Support Plans

Having a support plan such as an IEP or 504 Plan is critical for ensuring that students with disabilities receive the necessary accommodations and services to succeed in school. These plans are legally binding documents that require schools to provide specific support and services to meet the needs of the student.
