![]() The main difference is that parents have fewer rights and schools have fewer legal obligations under Section 504. For example, IEP plans have to be in writing. 504 plans do not. IEP requires that school's take reasonable efforts to ensure parental participation, including inviting parents to IEP meetings. Section 504 does not require notice of meetings. IDEA requires parental notice before a change of placement. Section 504 does not. Children with 504 Plans can be permanently expelled for behavior that is not a manifestation of their disability. Children with IEP plans can be removed from school for behavior that is not a manifestation of their disability, but the school is still required to provide a free appropriate education. How can I get my child off a 504 and on an IEP plan? Schools must provide a child with an IEP if the child's disability makes special education and related services necessary. If your school refuses to provide your child with an IEP, you should contact a special education attorney.

It is doubtful that any child may reasonably be expected to succeed in life if he is denied the opportunity of an education.
