ABCs for Life Success

Yesterday in a Maryland County, a high school IEP team told parents and me that, if the parent revokes consent for special education, the student cannot get accommodations under the Rehabilitation Act. That is incorrect and I corrected the chairperson in the meeting, who argued with me that the compliance specialist told her that information. This morning, the compliance specialist clarified that YES, a student of course is able to receive 504 Plan accommodations after a parent revokes consent for the IEP. That is what should happen! I wrote about this years ago here, Are you considering revoking consent for your child's IEP? I would love to hear from you! Have you done this and did your child get 504 plan accommodations? Let's talk about it!
