My Child Is on a Section 504 Plan
Anytime your child’s behavior is interfering with his or her education and/or is resulting in suspensions, you may want to request an evaluation for an IEP or 504 Plan*. If your child is already on an IEP or 504 Plan, you may want to request a meeting to determine if your child’s IEP or 504 Plan and Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP)* are meeting your child’s needs and modify them, as necessary, to address the behavior so that it is less likely to happen again.
If your child is on an IEP or 504 Plan and does not have a BIP, you may want to request that the school conduct a Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA)* and implement a BIP. You also may want to discuss whether the behavior was a manifestation* of his or her disability.
