IEP vs. 504 Plan: Which is Right for My Child?

Join us online on Monday, June 23, 2025, for our Family Empowerment Series training “IEP v. 504 Plan: Which is Right for my Child?”

In this session, we’ll help you understand the differences between Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and 504 Plans so you can make informed decisions about what’s best for your child.

We will cover important topics such as

• Identifying the steps to determine your student’s eligibility for special education services
• Exploring the support options available for students with disabilities, and
• Outlining next steps if you disagree with an evaluation or eligibility determination.

Want to study early? Check out our office’s YouTube page, which features a series of six dynamic videos on Special Education in DC, including one on the differences between IEPs and 504s! All videos are available in English and Spanish with open captioning.
