Not all kids need special education or individualized instruction

Not all kids need special education or individualized instruction.

But they might still need supports or services at school. Depending on their challenges, they may

be able to get that help through a 504 plan. 504 plans are designed to help kids with disabilities

learn alongside their peers. They do this by removing barriers to learning. 504 plans aren’t the

same as

IEPs

. They’re each covered by different laws and work in different ways. But the end

goal is the same: to help students be successful in school. Review the link below to gain a better

understand of a 504 Plan.
