So when you are raising a child, whether it's by adoption, foster care, kinship care, grandparent raising a grandchild, what are some of the early signs that we should be looking for that our child might need additional support or educational assessment even in the school classroom?

I think there are two big ones.

Honestly, this first one I think sounds so difficult for some parents to hear and to understand.

And I want to add as a parent who has been there that this is understandably painful and probably should be because we love our children more than anything.

But the first one is simply a failed performance.

where you are sitting there going, why is this happening and why is it not getting better? I see this the most frequently with children with dyslexia, where mom is sitting here going, I know they're flipping letters around.

I see it.

What's the difference between an IEP and a 504?
