Lorman Education Services Presents "Section 504 Vs. The IDEA seminar on Nov. 8, 2005
(PRWEB) September 22, 2005 -- There is an increasing population of students within our schools who have disabilities but may not be eligible for special education. It is important for educators to have a clear understanding of their obligation to meet the needs of these students. There remains confusion within the field about the difference between Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act 2004. Schools must assure that their educational program is non-discriminatory. This seminar will provide an overview of Section 504 and IDEIA and the differences between the two. It will provide the necessary tools for educators to implement provisions of both laws. The seminar will also review key issues facing educators and provide practical tips on how to deal with those issues.
