Behind the Labels: The Power of IEPs and 504 Plans
Is your child struggling in school?
First, know that not all challenges are the same, and neither are the solutions. The quick guide above can help you understand which path might be right for your child. An IEP or 504 Plan may be the very tool to help your child access the school environment and curriculum.
Below are some common signs that student's face in the school setting:
My child avoids reading, writing, or math homework.
They are falling behind in one or more subjects.
They often forget or lose assignments.
They need repeated instructions to understand directions.
Their grades have dropped without explanation.
My child gets frustrated or upset easily when doing schoolwork.
They’ve been disciplined more frequently at school.
They complain of headaches, stomachaches, or feeling sick before school.
They say they “hate school” or “feel stupid.”
They’ve become more withdrawn, anxious, or moody.
My child has difficulty sitting still or focusing for long periods.
They’re easily distracted and often seem lost in thought.
They struggle with time management and staying organized.
They struggle to make or keep friends.
They have trouble understanding social cues.
They avoid group work or class participation.
If several of these signs resonate with you, it may be time to seek a formal evaluation or request a meeting with your child’s school.
You’re not alone—and support is available.
