The landscape of American education has undergone significant changes over the past few months, particularly in the realm of special education. Our diligence in staying informed about developments in our field is more important than ever as we approach the start of a new school year in just a few weeks. Our focus today centers on understanding 504s with our guest, April. Join us to learn more!

April Rehrig is a special education advocate who does things differently. Her experiences as a teacher, mother, and school psychologist for 20 years provide her with a wide-ranging perspective on education and a unique approach to advocacy. She is the founder of Rise Educational Advocacy and Consulting and has a passion for helping parents and their children navigate the world of special education.

Show Highlights:

  • Shift from IEPs to 504s: The biggest problem is insufficient training.
  • The trend of inconsistency in 504s
  • April’s perspective on the disconnect between IEP teams and 504 teams
  • A huge increase in the number of students who have medical needs, like diabetes, migraines, etc. (These students need a healthcare plan at school!)
  • Misconceptions about accommodations, 504 plans, and IEPs
  • 504 meetings: What’s happening—and what needs to happen
  • The benefits of a student being involved in the 504 meetings in the beginning
