IEP vs 504 Plan - What's the Difference? 

Thank you for breaking down some of this! It's so much information and I'm trying to remember it all. I've got one son with an IEP and my other son has a 504. I had to fight the school with my youngest and take it to district after they did a BIP evaluation when I told them for years something was wrong with his reading and writing! They finally got a psychologist involved and some other people and sure enough he is dyslexic! Then they tried to take his speech iep after his dyslexia diagnosis! It was a mess. My other son has a 504 for his adhd and anxiety and he is failing in school! It is ridiculous. So I'm trying to prepare for more meetings. I also have considered trying to become an advocate!

Thank you So So So much for this video!! I came to RU-vid searching for some guidance for my struggling 3rd grader!! You got my heart when you said “your child is not defined by these things” 😭 Just starting the process to try to get my kiddo some help at school.

Great video! I would also add that parents are supposed be given their rights in paper. It’s important to not be nonchalant about receiving those rights and to read through all of it. We have the tendency to just agree and no it it along like the terms and conditions we are constantly bombarded with. But all parents should receive their rights in writing prior to an IEP meeting. Read it. You can’t know if you don’t read about it.

This was so helpful! Can we please have a video about special education and private school? :D

I’m 16 and going into 11th grade, I’m about to start the process of getting a 504 for my misophonia, this video helped a lot!!

Oh my goodness! My kiddo has been on a 504 for about a year and was just approved for an IEP. This information was super helpful. Thank you so much for creating this content!

Is school decide between IEP and 504? We were not told about these two and school decided 504 for my kid I did not even know there was IEP

OT and others like you are so awesome! My nerd is showing but y’all are heros. on another level...

Crip camp.... one of the best documentary ive ever seen

Great information. I can tell that you care.

Thank you...I saw a tiktok you did for a crying mom before our iep meeting this week and boy it made me bawl. I've struggled this year with my daughters IEP being followed and needing it changed and really had to fight to get some goals changed...i bawled the whole meeting but when I said I refuse to sign it they bowed. And now we are on a whole new path thanks to you! Your video helped me when I had reached the end of my rope and wished I wasn't even alive. Thank you for posting and so glad you are here on youtube since I don't have a tik tok. thank you...can't wait for the next IEP. Do you ever break down IWARs?

Thank you

This is an excellent and very informative video! Thank you

Thank you, super helpful.

Wow, This was great! thank you

Yes do a video on private schools

This was such an amazing video and resource. After nearly 20 years teaching and parent advocacy coaching I learners able to learn some new things in such a digestible way. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and wisdom. Lol-I’ve already shared it with a family behavior and life skills coach that expressed earlier today many of her parents not quite understanding the difference between the two as well as their rights . This is truly appreciated🤍✨

Thanks a TON. GOD BLESS YOU 😊

Hello. Can you please help me make an IEP. It will be my first time making for my SPED class. Thank you so much ❤️

Good video

My son is autistic, And today for the first time he had a seizure. My brother said a 504 program should be something i look at to make sure we don’t have issues in the future, My on is on an IEP program and I’m kinda in the dark about all this. Should i look more into a 504? Is it either an IEP program OR a 504 program or can he be on both? I will say my son goes to a school for special needs kids.

This is great!

I have a question , how does a child not qualify for an iep if he scores really low and not have any strengths???

Found you from TicTok thank you for sharing and all you do!!

I feel like these don't work these plans don't go past division ➗ math, no civics very little history. Very little education, just a pass through school w/o the real life world education you need. It's harder to take a college entry test, don't let me get started on essay writing...
