What is the difference between a Section 504 Plan and an Individualized Education Plan (IEP)?
In general, a Section 504 Plan only allows children with disabilities equal access to educational services, while an IEP provides more protections for children by mandating that the child benefits academically from those services. For more details regarding information on Section 504s and IEPs, please refer to our Guide to Educational Services for Ill and Disabled Children , which goes into more detail about 504s and IEPs.
