Welcome to the Autism, ADHD podcast. I am so happy that you join me today. I want to take a moment and ask for your help. Please take just a second and give the podcast a five-star review.

This will help me continue the podcast and keep bringing you

helpful information. Thanks so much again for taking the time to give that five-star review. Now,

let's get started. Welcome again, Casey Wad, to the Autism-A-D-D podcast.

Thanks for having me.

I think this is my third time on, and I was excited when I got your email again about coming back on to talk about death.

Well, you are a regular for sure, and there's a reason for that because you have so many great skills. I appreciate

you having the time to come back on and speak with us. So I'm going to introduce you really

whoo-woo, not far from where I'm from, with 11 years of experience

helping parents support their kids through daily life. Casey's passion is to elevate

parent confidence through education community because every parent and every child deserves

a safe place to the little. I love that. Every child and every parent really do deserve

a safe place to belong. So true. Okay. So this is a question I often get and I thought,

it's a better person to talk about this with is Casey. The difference between IEPs and 504s. Sometimes it's not

basic difference between the two would be that an IEP is an individualized education

plan that provides specially designed instruction for a child with a learning difference

or some kind of disability that really impacts how they learn and how they participate

in their school environment. And then a 504 plan is something

that provides accommodations and maybe some physical changes to the environment, perhaps some

adaptations to how information is presented, but it's not really changing what is being taught in the classroom.
