Guest guest Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 An IEP is normally considered to be implemented for children with disabilities and schools are provided federal funds to implement IEPs for children. Section 504 is governed by the Office of Civil Rights and schools are obligated to carry out sanctions under this statute at their own expense. The general difference between the IEP and Section 504 is that the objective to Section 504 is to remove barriers that could stop a student from success, whereas, the IEP is to set up special accommodations for students in need. The eligibility requirements for an IEP are much more stringent than those of Section 504. If a child is found ineligible for special services and accommodations under IDEA, they may still qualify for services under Section 504. There are more protections under IDEA. If a child does not qualify under IDEA, they may qualify under 504. It doesn not strictly address behavior. Behavior issues are addressed with a Behavior Assessment doen by the school and a behavior intervention plan. Hope this helped.
