Individual Education Plans (IEP’s)

By

Individual Education Plans (IEP’s) are covered under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 1975. This act requires all 50 states to ensure a free appropriate public education to all qualifying students no matter what their disabilities are. It says that school systems must provide a proper individually tailored education, designed specifically for the individual. Each eligible student must be appropriately taught whether there is funding or not and by any means necessary.

The requirements of an IEP go a step further than 504 plans in that they require not only equal access, but also delivery of a proper education. The schools have to prove that eligible students have made academic progress. IEP’s include not only a plan of action but specific reports to show the amount of progress. The school’s special education department is in charge of IEP’s. If you feel that your child may require additional services beyond a 504 plan, then you may want to consider an IEP.

504 Plans

By

504 plans refer to section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act passed by the United States Congress in 1973. This act protects the civil rights of people with disabilities. It says that people with disabilities must have equal access to participation in all programs that receive federal funding. Therefore public schools have to make sure that equal access happens for all students.

One major limitation of 504 plans is that they only require equal access. They do not require that academic progress be made. Basically 504 plans provide accommodations that allow children with disabilities the same access as those without. The school’s general education department is in charge of 504 programs. If your child can be successful by using some carefully placed accommodations, then a 504 plan would be best. These plans take less time to create and are usually less expensive for the school district.

Title I

By

Title I is part of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. It is a collection of federal laws that are designed to improve the achievement of public school students. Title 1 allows schools to receive additional funding for specific Title I programs and in turn are held accountable for showing marked improvement in those areas. The schools must then prove to the government that the extra money spent resulted in student advancement. The school’s general education department is in charge of Title I programs.

Fight For Your Children

By

Schools are strapped for cash and tend to fight giving out needed services. Don’t blindly go along with whatever they say. Sometimes they try to short-change you while claiming they know what is best. Fight for your kids.
