Frequently Asked Questions
What is Educational Equity?
We are here to use our experience to support your family and ensure that your child gets everything they need to be successful socially, emotionally, and academically. Whether you have concerns about academics or behaviors we are here to help.
How can your services benefit my child?
Our experience in special education enables us to offer personalized support for navigating your child's education. We can help you develop the best plan to meet your child's needs. If needed, one of our representatives can attend meetings with you to add a voice of experience to your requests in the school meeting your child's needs.
What sets your company apart from others in the field?
We are new, but recently leaving the district after teaching for nine years in special education classrooms and transitioning to administration for twenty-three years in Georgia's second-largest school system gives us an advantage as things have changed over time. We bring a wealth of knowledge and a deep commitment to supporting students with special needs.
IEP vs. 504
Every student who has a disability may not require specialized instruction. For students with disabilities who are tested and require specialized intervention, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) defines the procedural requirements, and an IEP is developed in cooperation with the school system and parents. The IDEA requires documentation of measurable growth.
We guide parents through this process, to ensure it goes smoothly — preparation and documentation, collaborative meetings — ensuring that your child gets the best services they can get from their district.
Students with 504 Plans do not require specialized intervention, but, like the IEP, a 504 Plan should be updated each year to ensure that the student is receiving the most effective accommodations for his/her specific circumstances.
