I’ve been trying to get our school to get my 7yr old son an IEP/504 because he’s behind and has a speech delay , and cannot read very well. but even the director of special education says he’s doing fine on his benchmark testing .. Can he still qualify?
Hi Denise,
You can request an evaluation for diagnosis, and after diagnosis, they will set up an IEP/504 plan.
