Personalized 504 Treatment Plans
In recent years, there has been an increasing recognition of the importance of addressing mental health disabilities in educational settings. For children and adolescents with conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and OCD, a customized 504 Plan can provide support to help them succeed academically and socially.
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 ensures that students with disabilities receive appropriate accommodations in school, allowing them to access the same educational opportunities as their peers. These personalized plans play a crucial role in supporting students by providing them with the appropriate accommodations needed to succeed both socially and academically while fostering emotional well-being.
Our office offers personally tailored 504 Plans that meet the unique needs of each child.
The process of developing a customized 504 Plan begins with a comprehensive clinical assessment of the child's individual needs. This assessment includes gathering information from various sources such as parents, teachers, therapists and other health professionals.
Once the assessment is complete, we will work closely with the family and the school staff to develop a 504 Plan that outlines accommodations designed to support the child's learning in that particular school setting.
For Example...
A Child With ADHD May Benefit From:
- Extended time on tests
- Preferential seating
- The use of organizational tools to help manage assignments
Similarly, A Student Struggling With Anxiety May Require:
- A quiet space to regroup during overwhelming moments
- Written assignments instead of oral presentations
- Access to a school counselor for regular check-ins
By customizing these accommodations, we can create a supportive framework that addresses child-specific challenges to promote academic success, emotional resilience and social development.
