My guest is April Rehrig, a veteran school psychologist and founder of RISE Educational Advocacy and Consulting. In this insightful episode, April shares her expertise on navigating the complexities of school IEP (Individualized Education Program) and 504 plans for children with ADHD.

April explains the differences and intersections between IEPs and 504 plans, how they both ensure a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE), and clarifies common misconceptions. She provides valuable advice for parents on how to advocate for their child's needs, including the importance of putting requests in writing to trigger school action and procedural safeguards.

Through real-life scenarios, April highlights the importance of early intervention and continuous support, debunking the myth that good grades exclude children from needing these plans. She also emphasizes the power of parental advocacy and offers practical tips on how to effectively request evaluations and accommodations.

Whether you're a parent, teacher, or caregiver, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help children with ADHD thrive in their educational journey. Tune in to learn how to make informed decisions and secure the necessary supports for your child's success.
