Yes. If your child meets the requirements for an IEP or 504 plan, they are entitled to receive accommodations, modifications, and special education in school. Though IEPs and 504 plans are driven mostly by you and your child’s school, we’re here to offer support as your child’s health care provider. This includes providing a diagnosis to prove a disability is present, as well as completing further testing as needed.
In addition, your child’s care team includes a social worker, who will connect you to resources and work with you and your child’s school to get the appropriate plan in place.
For more help, check out Educational Children’s Assistance Center (EHAC). It’s a free local program that helps parents of children with disabilities navigate the education system.
