| EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT
IEPs and Plans |
Are you the caregiver of a girl with ADHD who struggles academically? Individualized Educational Programs (IEPs) and 504 plans (named after section 504 of the US Rehabilitation Act of 1973) are federal mandates designed to protect the rights of children with disabilities.
|
|
|
ADHD can look different in girls compared to boys. Symptoms and needs can vary from girl to girl as well. Fortunately, IEPs and 504 Plans can be crafted to consider the specific challenges and goals of individual girls with ADHD.
