Understanding the Differences: IEPs vs. 504s

Parents want what is best for their child’s education, and sometimes, that involves specialized programs that address their student’s specific needs. In this free and open-to-the-public class, IHCRC Youth Support Staff will host Oklahoma Parent Center Educators to provide information about the history of U.S. disability laws and discuss two common plans for helping students with school. This will especially focus on the differences and similarities of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA). It will also help parents understand 504s and Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), and if either would help their child.
