[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Huge difference between 504 and IEP. If you can get an IEP, your kid MAY fare better in the long run. Personally, the 504 my inattentive ADHD kid had was worthless. It had all the usual wording noted above, but what he really needed was daily coaching, monitoring, organizing at school and not just rely on us to deal at home. [/quote] To get an IEP, one needs to focus on "special instruction". For an ADD/Inattentive kid who needs help "planning/outlining big assignments with the teacher" that means TEACHING the kid how to break down projects for themselves, schedule bits and pieces, and then having someone monitor the planner for completion. The "teaching" part is "special instruction" and requires an IEP. The "monitoring" of a planner is an "accommodation" which would typically only need to be put on a 504 plan. IEPs are more enforceable than 504 plans, so there is an advantage to haven them. [/quote]
