Chiari in Schools & IEP/504s

Lately I feel like I can't keep up with anything! I have a lists of posts that I keep adding to that I want to talk about.... but wanted to start with this one first. 

For the Jan. ASAP meeting I hosted, our discussion topic was on Chiari in Schools, and IEPs vs. 504s. I had a guest speaker, Kaylie's school special education teacher. She was great!! And gave a lot of insight on everything. I wanted to share the handouts that I gave out to the group, and my meeting notes.

I think I biggest thing to stress, is that each patient is different with Chiari, so because of that... each child that has a 504 or IEP is going to be different as well, to meet that child's needs.
