WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A 504 PLAN AND SPECIAL EDUCATION?
504 Plan
A 504 plan is intended for ANY student with a disability, impairment, or suspected impairment that substantially limits a major life activity while at school. The impairment can be an academic or nonacademic issue.
The 504 plan offers support needed to minimize the interference so the child can learn alongside peers WITHIN the general education classroom.
Special Education
Special education is intended for students with specific disabilities that directly affect his or her ability to learn or benefit from the general education curriculum.
Students within special education are provided individualized services and/or specialized curriculum.
