If you are a parent of a child with special needs, getting ready for your child’s return to the classroom is more than purchasing school supplies.
A common concern of parents who have children with special needs is how to properly advocate at school for their child. A student with a different academic profile or that has specific behavioral needs can benefit from an Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) or a 504 Plan. An IEP comes with education services that may include occupational therapy, speech-language therapy or physical therapy provided by the school to a student who is eligible.
A 504 Plan protects a student with a diagnosed physical or mental impairment that limits the student’s ability to learn. 504 Plans allow for specific accommodations within the classroom, such as visual aids, preferred seating, extra books for home use, an oral test, extended time for assignments and tests. Schools cannot discriminate against a student with a disability, but a student’s rights under section 504 are less formal.

A Cool Girl's Bedroom
WHEN DESIGNER JACY PAINTER KELLY, owner of Jacy Painter Kelly Interiors, took her family to New York City last summer, her 10-year-old daughter Lucy went crazy for the cool urban vibe of their downtown hotel room. It gave Lucy the itch to makeover her own bedroom in their Fort Mill home. She wanted more mature accents like silver wall sconces and velvet pillows, paired with punk rock elements like a graffiti-inspired bed frame and pink neon sign. Luckily her designer mom knew exactly how to tie it all together.
