Think about your 504 plan

Now, as you think about your child's transition to adult life, take a moment to think about the accommodations your child gets through their 504 plan.

Infographic of woman with her finger on her chin and a thought bubble above her head that says: Is the 504 plan enough to prepare my child for their goals after age 22? Will my child need special classes or support to prepare for getting a job or going to college? Appropriate behavior? Study skills? Managing daily living needs like taking a bus or using the bank? Social skills?

If you think your child needs more support in addition to the accommodations they get from the 504 Plan, you might want to see if they qualify for an IEP, or Individualized Education Program.

We'll tell you about this process in the next slide!
