Section 504
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (Federal law) has nothing to do with $. What it states, briefly, is that a school has to make a PLAN to accomodate a child's disability (note that all they have to do is make a plan, not necessarily implement the plan) An IEP has the force of law behind it and a school is bound to delivery all in the IEP. However, if what your child needs is not too difficult to provide and the school is willing to accomodate you, getting a 504 plan is often just fine.
I hope this answers your qeustion...if not, ask some more and I'll respond,
Good luck
