Things to Remember about 504

• Legal Document just like an IEP• Accommodation Plans are written as a team,

don’t miss your opportunity to voice what accommodations should be in place. Go to the meetings!

• Accommodations are not just for academic needs, sometimes it can be as simple as letting a child leave a minute early to get to class or carry water with them.

Page 22: Section 504

Continued…• Students with a 504 plan have a right to

privacy so be discreet.• All students can have accommodations to

help them be successful. (It’s the right thing to do!)

• If a child is not succeeding with the current accommodations, then the plan needs to be revisited quickly to make appropriate changes.
