Which plan (IEP or 504) is right for my child in Texas?

A 504 Plan is best if your child needs classroom accommodations, while an IEP is better if your child needs specialized instruction or services.

The right plan depends on how your child learns and what support they need.

A 504 Plan may be a good fit if:

  • Your child can follow the general curriculum
  • They need adjustments like extra time or seating changes

An IEP may be more appropriate if:

  • Your child needs individualized goals
  • They require therapies or specialized teaching
  • Their disability significantly impacts learning

Parents can request a school evaluation in writing at any time.
