A. An IEP is normally considered to be implemented for children with

disabilities and schools are provided federal funds to implement IEPs for

children.

Section 504 is governed by the Office of Civil Rights and schools are obligated

to carry out sanctions under this statute at their own expense. The general

difference between the IEP and Section 504 is that the objective to Section 504

is to remove barriers that could stop a student from success, whereas, the IEP

is to set up special accommodations for students in need. The eligibility

requirements for an IEP are much more stringent than those of Section 504. If a

child is found ineligible for special services and accommodations under IDEA,

they may still qualify for services under Section 504.

I am a teacher and the parent of a beautiful 16 year old girl with CF. An

I.E.P is for children with learning problems, and a 504 plan is for children

with

health problems. ALL children with CF qualify for a 504 plan. Many teachers

and schools will tell you your child doesn't qualify, but they do qualify. A

504 plan protects your child from the penalities of excessive absences, and

requires the teacher to provide extra help for your child when your child is

absent.

true, Rosemary - that is Santosh's classification which I am glad of in

an ironic way - he can never be kicked out of the system so will always

get extra help.
