What Section 504 is. - Regarding Barb Rutt's email on free training.

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

For newbies to the world of special education, Section 504 is different than

IEP. 504 will be helpful to those individuals who don't qualify for IEP.

Usually this consists of individuals with ADHD or very high function autistic

individuals.

Assessments will have to be done before determining what plan of services can be

granted to any individual. Usually a public school system can do an MFE for

young children starting in education beginning at age 3. Contact your school

districts board of education.

Here is a website with some information on what section 504 is:

theres more info on more sites too, just search " section 504 "

Yours Most Truly,
