Every general education teacher has students with IEPs and 504 plans. At CityPrep, we serve as the bridge between the special education system and the general education classroom to ensure every student’s rights are honored.

The Fundamental Difference: IEP vs. 504

An IEP provides specialized instruction, while a 504 plan provides accommodations only. For more on navigating these processes, see our guide on helping parents navigate 504s. You can find legal info on the ADA website. This is also relevant for hard conversations with families.

The Counselor’s Role

Facilitate professional development and advocate for consistent implementation. For more on supporting disorganized students, read our post on executive functioning. This is a key part of self-care as advocacy.
