IEP/504 Counseling

How We Support Students Academically

At Help Anchor Academy, we are committed to providing a personalized and supportive learning environment for every student. While we do not write 504 plans or IEPs, we have extensive experience working with them and use that knowledge to develop what we call a Student Learning Plan (SLP). This plan closely models a 504 or IEP and helps us ensure that students with unique learning needs receive the support and resources they need to thrive.
