What does a 504 plan contain?

There’s no standard 504 plan required by the law. Every school district handles it a little differently. In general, a 504 plan should include the following elements, all tailored to a child’s individual needs:

• Specific accommodations, supports or services
• Names of the school professional that will provide each service
• The name of the person responsible for ensuring the 504 plan is implemented

A 504 plan could include specialized instruction in a general education classroom. It can also provide related services. These could include speech or occupational therapy or even counseling.
