• “The Exceptional Students Education (ESE) Department is part of
Student Intervention Services. The department oversees the
implementation of policies and procedures related to Florida
statutes or State Board of Education rules affecting programs for
exceptional students, including gifted students. Specifically, the
department works with schools and parents to ensure that
students with disabilities and gifted students receive the
appropriate educational opportunities and related services through
the IEP and/or EP process” (Okaloosa County School District
(2020)).
Rationale: Related Case
Cedar Rapids Community
School Dist. v. Garret F.
(n.d.), Garret F. required
physical assistance due to
his disability, and the school
district refused to
accommodate his needs.
The court determined that
“if the services in question
are "related" to keeping the
child with disabilities in
school and able to access
educational opportunities
available to others IDEA
funded school districts must
provide such services”
(Oyez (2020)).
Conclusion

IEP vs 504
LRE

Every Student can learn, just not

on the same day, or in the same way.
