Most parents whose child has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) know that schools are required by law to offer assistance to students with disabilities. However, many are confused about the complexities of the process and aren’t sure how far to push for services. In response to requests from parent groups, the Posternock Apell, PC Special Ed Team has created a slide deck that provides an overview of these topics:
Synopsis of federal disability laws
Features of IEP vs. 504 Plan
Tips for writing letters in support
Special Ed for the student with OCD
Related Services such as physical & occupational therapy
IEP & 504 Accommodations
How to request an IEP & 504 plan
Tips on preparing for the meeting
