About this guide

Your child’s 504 plan should not depend on how well the school explains itself. This 55-page, plain-English playbook walks you through the whole life of a 504 plan - who the 504 coordinator is, how to put the first request in writing, what the eligibility test actually asks, what belongs in the plan document, how to make it stick in September, and how it stays current through annual reviews, new schools, testing season, and the handoff to college.

Your real alternative is an educational advocate at $100-$300 an hour. This guide exists so the first several of those hours are ones you no longer need to buy.

Before you buy

When do I get it?

The download link appears the moment checkout completes, and the same link is emailed to you, so you have a copy either way.

What do I need to open it?

One PDF, 55 pages, 5 worksheets, 7 checklists. Any free PDF reader opens it on a phone, tablet, or computer, and it is laid out for standard US Letter paper if you would rather print it.

Are the letters and worksheets fillable?

The letter templates use bracketed fields you replace with your own details, and the worksheets are built to be printed and filled in by hand. If you would rather stay on screen, most PDF apps, including the free readers, let you type anywhere on a page with their comment or fill and sign tools.

Will this work in my state?

Federal law is the backbone of every guide, and it applies in every state. Where states are allowed to differ, the guide says so plainly, and a state number appears only when it has been verified against that state's own rules, with the citation printed beside it. Every guide is date-stamped with its version and review date, so you can see how current it is.

What if it is not what I needed?

Every guide is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. Email [email protected] within 30 days of buying and you get a full refund. The full guarantee explains how it works.
