School support plan
A 504 plan is a US school plan that lists accommodations for a student. It helps remove barriers to learning.
Definition
504 plans are used to outline practical adjustments such as extra time, seating changes, or assistive tools. They do not change learning goals but make access fairer. UK schools use different systems, but the goal of accessibility is similar. Collaboration with school staff helps keep plans practical.
