Understanding Individualized Education Plans And 504 Plans
Charlotte Parent|Education Guide 2018-2019

Every parent wants their child to achieve the highest level of academic success, and for some children, this requires a different type of intervention from the school. This falls under either the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA), or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

Understanding Individualized Education Plans And 504 Plans

A student that has a different academic profile or has specific behavioral needs may benefit from an Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) or a 504 Plan. Both plans are designed to help ensure a successful school year by giving a child the proper accommodations he or she may need.

When do you need a 504 Plan or Individualized Education Plan?

As a parent, you may request an evaluation if your child has a disability, you suspect that your child may have a learning disability or if your child is academically struggling. If your child is having a hard time keeping up with peers, this may be a sign that your child requires additional aid. Make a request in writing to the special education team at your child’s school. e school then decides what level of intervention is needed.

What’s the difference between the plans?

An IEP is an Individualized Education Plan 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 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.
