 School questions regarding Special Education...

504 plan.
 Student would still be considered a general education student, but he/she  would have accommodations put in place to help support him/her. This plan requires schools to eliminate barriers that would prevent the student from participating fully in the programs and services offered in the general curriculum. Section 504 requires that reasonable accommodations be made for the child with a disability.  The 504 plan requires the school to provide reasonable accommodations, supports and auxiliary aides to allow the child to participate in the general curriculum.  The evaluation draws on information from a variety of sources in the area of concern. If it is needed due to a medical concern, a diagnosis or letter from a doctor will be required. A group decision is made with persons knowledgeable about the student, evaluation data, and available accommodation options.  
 
Individualized Education Plan (IEP)
Student would be considered a special education student. The student would be certified in an area and would get services depending on what the testing provided. This plan would provide individual supplemental educational services and supports in addition to what is provided to students in the general curriculum to ensure that he/she has access to and benefits from the general curriculum. He/She would receive academic, speech and language, and/or social work assistance. The process of the evaluation for this would be for the school psychologist, teacher consultant, speech and language pathologist, and social worker to evaluate their academic and cognitive strengths, speech and language strengths and deficits, and the student's overall social- emotional learning. This process takes 30 school days to evaluate and develop a plan that is tailored to his/her needs.
