Do 504 students have an IEP?
Students under 504 are not entitled to an Individualized Education Program (IEP). However, a group of people knowledgeable about a 504-eligible student must identify the services or accommodations necessary for her to access an education and, subsequently, develop and implement a written 504 Plan. Like an IEP, a 504 Plan is driven by the needs of the child as identified by formal and informal assessments and evaluations. This article is based on a webinar by the Advocacy Institute featuring Claudia Lowe, an educational strategist and consultant, and founder and director of The Advocacy & Learning Center (TALC) and Lead Students of America (LSA), and on A Web Guide to the Special Services Partnership, www.spednetwilton.org, published by Special Education Network of Wilton (CT), Ltd.
