1 504 or IEP: Which is Right for my Child? Students with disabilities can receive educational plans under one of two federal laws. One is Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, whose plan is commonly referred to as a 504 Plan. The other is the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004, commonly referred to as IDEA, whose plan is called an IEP (Individualized Education Program). Particularly for students with Tourette Syndrome, ADHD, or other medical conditions, it is important to know the distinction, the legal requirements for eligibility and the protections and services afforded under each.
