Understanding Section 504 - When Are 504 Plans Appropriate for Students Exiting Special Education?

When are 504 Plans for students exiting special education appropriate?
To help you answer this question, we review eligibility criteria and intent for IEPs and 504 Plans and explain the legal differences between the two classifications.
We also outline the critical function student data play as you determine if a 504 Plan is appropriate for a student who is no longer eligible for special education - and which data are most helpful for administrators and special education teachers during the decision-making process.

Thank you for creating this video. My son has Asperger's Syndrome (autism). I'm readying myself for the transition from high school & he's going onto college. The only thing I've learned is I.E.P. ends & 504 begins. I'm anxious. Idk how to do this.
