Virtual Lunch and Learn - Special Education and 504 Plans: The Essentials

Date: Aug 4, 2026

Time: 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

Both Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and Section 504 plans can offer formal help for K-12 students who qualify for services.  Learn the difference between an IEP and a 504 plan and what makes a child eligible.  Come and learn what your rights are, and what our role is when working with the school team, including navigating disagreements. Participants will leave with an understanding of each plan and how it is helpful in assisting students with a variety of learning challenges.
