This is so incredibly well explained! Please help explain all of my teaching classes to me!! Thank you!

[@aimeeseek7398]

Thanks! I respect you ladies! Thank you for making it possible for people born with hardships to learn and have life. People do not make it up when they have doctor diagnosis and proof of something going on. I personally still have pics of stuff that happenend to me.

[@CharoBorboa]

Thanks for the brief and thorough explanation.

[@nooraanwahi495]

wow! I finally understood :D thxx

My brother was denied an IEP because “he doesn’t have one of the 13 disabilities, so he doesn’t qualify for an IEP”. But my parents and I see that he is struggling to understand his homework and comprehend what he’s reading and it’s brought his grades down. We went to a psychologist and he said that an IEP would help him more than a 504. THe school straight out said he doesn’t fit the criteria, without even giving him an evaluation.

[@thedadvocate4806]

Great information and explanation!

[@itsmarielle]

what a pleasant video!

[@sunshinegriffin903]

What if the child's illness causes him/her to start having certain mental illness such as depression and anxiety, ? The plan they have now is 504 but would later need an IEP plan because of his/her brought on mental illness due to the stress of the illness they have ?

[@danielbarrera875]

an accommodation is not a modification as she stated; if it was, it would be sp ed.

[@myrazantinga863]

I enjoyed watching this episode. I do have a question. My question is, is there a Grade-wise switch that pre-K-12 is IDEA and then once in college, it switches to the 504 plan? I am curious.

[@jenniexfuller]

Dysgraphia, an impairment in handwriting and the entire writing process seems as though it would need an IEP as opposed to simply accommodations. Correct?

[@tyshasmith3792]

I need help in this area my school replaced my son more then 10 day in two months with 7day official suspension and many day of me dropping him off the start of school they call me by 11am to pick him up at least times a week. I'm just learning about our right.

[@aimeeseek7398]

How do people do that with confidentiality still intact?

Wait a minute: running vocabulary together.

[@FatinaJalambo]

I have a question: So 504 "according to the interviewer" may get modification along with the accommodations?

[@thephilosopher5799]

Yes I have autism and my 504 plan was modify a couple of times because it was not effective at first

[@dbar3221]

But not a modification of the content. That’s not what the 504 does?

[@jessicarkindberg1423]

@@christiangrand1625 That's an accommodation not a modification.

[@TheBengalDragon]

I then have a genuine question. Why isn't the stuff for IDEA and IEP just incorporated into a 504 plan and have a more dynamic assessment system?

[@eanymeanyminymo]

504 doesn't require funding, only accommodations.

[@thephilosopher5799]

@@eanymeanyminymo yep and 504 plan doesn't do shit depending on your teacher is and how much the school actually cares about you. To get the things you need you have to rely on your parents

[@46foryounger]

What if the person is an adult over 21 is there any free services and free special education that they can receive I have a friend who’s deaf she has no education. She’s come from another country when she was 25 years old so she wasn’t eligible for the IEP And they threw her right into work but it’s hard labor and she’s having back pains and she really needs an education. She needs an education in ASL because she can sign but she never had formal education in ASL and she needs an education in school so that she can get a decent job and a desk job, I feel like she’s been classified

[@2SWeEeT2B4GOT10]

The school we attend is opposite.. Its hard to aquire the 504, but they toss out the IEP'z left & right.

[@dholmes299]

2SWeEeT2B4GOT10 I know this is late but I am dealing with the same about hard to get 504 plan. I found out that they get funding for the IEP but not the 504. I had my meeting when school starting and was promised my son would get all this special attention. He is diagnosed with autism, ADD & depression. He's still struggling and being called stupid by other kids and nothing I was promised was implemented! I'm having a IEP meeting next week and going to let them have it in a professional manner. I have my notes from that meeting and going to go over each item. I also plan to attend our next school board meeting.

Anyone else feel like these ladies are definitely beefing?

[@CSDAdvocacy]

People are not “in” special education. Special education is a series of support. Special ed is not a place. The IEP must occur in general education unless that is IMPOSSIBLE. And read Section 504. Related Service and special instruction is in 504. Procedural rights and Dispute resolution is the primary difference between 504 and IDEA. And funding. Schools get money for IDEA. They don’t for 504.

[@aimeeseek7398]

Maybe a teacher can give you more time to do assignments, or point you to an accomodations helper? That way it does not stop your success and you can overcome that hurdle...
