Thank you for the information that it does not expand their rights, but protects their rights to ensure access. Q: Even though the intent/role of Section 504 is one of protection & access - doesn't the development of an appropriate plan to achieve FAPE result in Section 504 EFFECTIVELY appearing the same as an IEP? Meaning is the main difference - the intent/purpose of each (Sec. 504/IDEA), but not necessarily how they each support the student in their needs?
This is the finest video on Section 504 in the field of education. It makes the law very understandable for all.
