Which statement is true about modifications to a child’s school day?

  1. They are always covered under an Individualized Education Program (IEP)

  2. They can only be implemented after a formal diagnosis

  3. They can be achieved through a 504 plan if needed

  4. They are provided only in special education classes

The correct answer is: They can be achieved through a 504 plan if needed

The statement regarding modifications to a child's school day being achievable through a 504 plan is accurate. A 504 plan is designed to provide accommodations and modifications to ensure that students with disabilities have equal access to education in a general education setting. This could include changes to the school day, such as extended time for tests or modified schedules, which enables the child to participate fully alongside their peers. Modifications can be appropriate even if a child does not qualify for special education under an IEP, as long as there is a documented need for adjustments due to a disability. This flexibility allows for a variety of supports tailored for students, accommodating their specific needs without necessarily involving an IEP.
