[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 126265, member: 1697"] IEP is not same as 504. 504 does not provide the same protections, is not as easily enforceable. I can say my easy child had an IEP from k-garten and I did not know, did not understand, I got these one page letters every once in awhile talking about her progress in speech.....but, the letters never made anything clear re what an IEP was, etc, and our school "accidentally" left out the info about our rights etc. When I began asking for an IEP for difficult child when she was in grade 4 or so, I was put off then becuz I still did not ever get any safeguards and policies and rights info and I had no clue what to do or how to do it, and for a few years our school slid along trying to convince me they were doing all they could by giving her a 504, even while they began to change her placement. Carefully read what you DO have.....read other posts here, if you do not have an IEP- there are certain steps to take to GET one, specific ways to go about it. SOME schools will be helpful, some schools will not be. Learn all you can at various websites etc, becuz once an IEP is in place, in some schools, you will still have to work hard to make sure it is followed properly. [/QUOTE]
