IEP (individualized education
plan) or 504 plan
School
IEP is completed to place a
child in special education and
to give them the assistance
they require within the
classroom setting to be
successful. A student can be
placed in a special education
classroom and/or they can
have inclusion classes where
they receive special
accommodations within a
normal classroom. The IEP
should be specifically tailored
towards the child. It can
include specifics on where the
child should sit (example front
of classroom right by the
teacher’s desk) and can include
specific ways for the
teacher(s) to work with the
student (example chunking of
the assignments).
-Until child is successful
within the classroom setting
without any of the inventions
listed, the child will then no
longer qualify for special
assistance.
A 504 plan is for children who
need some extra support but
can be successful within a
regular classroom setting and
does not need special
education. A 504 plan can
