IEP's and 504's

Do you know the difference between an IEP and a 504 Plan? If you suspect that your child needs additional support or accommodations in the classroom, such as through Bridgewood's resources, and you're unsure how to advocate for them, we can help! Whether your child has a learning disability or already has an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or a 504 Plan, we can guide you through understanding the plan and the necessary steps. If you feel your child is not receiving the appropriate services or accommodations, including tutoring options, we can assist you in asking the right questions to ensure your child gets the support they need, even in a homeschool setting.

IEPs and 504 plans are essential components of educational support, especially for students who might benefit from tutoring or homeschooling options. In addition to these plans, educational evaluations play a crucial role in determining the appropriate interventions. Behavior intervention plans (BIPs) are often developed alongside Functional Behavioral Assessments (FBAs) to address specific needs. Furthermore, state and district assessments, along with RTI data, help to evaluate student progress and ensure that all educational strategies, including those at Bridgewood, are effective.
