[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A 504 plan is completely different than an IEP.  A 504 means that nothing was found in a Child Study and [b]the child was not determined to have a learning disability[/b]; however, the parents are insisting that something needs to be done so we'll set up a 504 to placate them.  I am fine with the school system telling you that your child cannot bring a book to school to use even though it is outlined in a 504.  You do have a choice here, you realize that, don't you?  Your choice is use the book and stay at home OR don't use the book and go to school.  It is up to you.[/quote]

This is utterly false.

"STUDENTS PROTECTED UNDER SECTION 504

Section 504 covers qualified students with disabilities who attend schools receiving Federal financial assistance. To be protected under Section 504, a student must be determined to: (1) have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities; or (2) have a record of such an impairment; or (3) be regarded as having such an impairment. Section 504 requires that school districts provide a free appropriate public education (FAPE) to qualified students in their jurisdictions who have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities."

RIF.  None of those are learning disabilities.  [/quote]

Are you saying that physical or mental impairments do not affect a child's learning needs? The poster said 504s are written to "placate" parents. That's ridiculous.[/quote]
