What Is a 504 Plan vs. IEP?
When a child is struggling in school due to dyslexia or another learning difference, families often hear about two types of educational support: a 504 Plan and an Individualized Education Program (IEP). Understanding the difference between these options is important because the type of support a child receives can significantly impact their educational experience.
For families navigating dyslexia and IEP eligibility, the process can feel overwhelming at first. While both plans are designed to support students with disabilities, they serve different purposes and provide different levels of assistance.
