What is the difference between an IEP and 504 Plan, and which works best?
Whether the student requires an IEP or a 504 Plan is based on the individual learner and his/her needs. It is wise to evaluate the student’s needs, and to consider one of these methods for ensuring that individual requirements are recognized and met. It is safe to assume that most students with special health conditions or chronic illnesses will require some sort of interventions to “level the playing field” with their classmates.
