[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 360245, member: 2423"] Welcome to the board! Here's an article on the website [URL='http://www.wrightslaw.com']www.wrightslaw.com[/URL] (a very helpful website about Special Education) that describes the differences between a 504 and IEP and may explain why your school is dragging its feet about implementing your son's 504 plan: [URL]https://web.archive.org/web/20151015065553/http://www.wrightslaw.com/advoc/articles/504_IDEA_Rosenfeld.html[/URL] In general, a 504 plan will provide accommodations (for example, extended time or reduced homework). An IEP will provide accommodations AND services (for example, speech therapy, counseling or reading remediation) based on needs that are uncovered in the evaluation you are requesting in the letters you are sending out. An IEP is generally not written unless the child has a disability that impacts his ability to access his education, and without direct services, he will not be able to access his education. Sharon has given you good advice about certified mail, timelines and wording of the letters. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
