Section 504: What Parents and Students Need to Know
March 19 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Learn the similarities and differences between Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and 504 plans. The training will cover what Section 504 is, what schools must do because of it, the criteria for students to qualify for a 504 accommodation plan, and how 504s differ from IEPs. We will also cover how Section 504 can help students with disabilities through high school, college, and the workplace. Information on 504 grievance procedures will also be provided.
