Just like stale smoke or grime, negative and undesired energy can soak into the rooms and walls of your home or office, interfering with your own energy and making you feel uneasy. Sometimes, this energy affects your emotions and physical health, and the sources vary from residual emotional energy to spiritual interference. Clearing away this residue from the space gives you a “clean slate” with which to make the space your own. To help you cleanse your energy and that of your home or business, Dimensions is proud to announce our new web site for spiritual cleansing: http://thespiritrescuer.com! Dimensions recommends energy cleansings when you go through significant life events, like extended illnesses, significant job changes, or even a divorce. Since you are looking to resolve these issues and start anew, your new direction can benefit from clearing out any old, stagnant energy.

Parenting Info: Difference Between a Section 504 Plan and an IEP By Erin Mumby

The 504 Plan is a plan developed to ensure that a child who has a disability identified under the law and is attending an elementary or secondary educational institution receives accommodations that will ensure their academic success and access to the learning environment. • Section 504 is a broad federal civil rights law that protects all individuals with a handicap. • IDEA (the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act) only applies to students who require special education because they have one of the specified types of disabilities. • Students who qualify under section 504 must have a 504 plan that outlines the services to be provided. Some stu- dents will also qualify under the more stringent IDEA. These students will have an IEP (Individualized Educational Plan) rather than a 504 plan.

The process for getting a 504 plan is much different, and simpler, than the process for getting an IEP. But it varies from school district to school district. Kids don’t need to get a full evaluation to get a 504 plan, although many do. In fact, schools often suggest a 504 plan if a child doesn’t qualify for special education qualify for special but needs support. With 504 plans, schools look at information about a student from a few different sources. One source might be a medical diagnosis. Schools might also look at the student’s grades, test scores and teacher recommendations. Parents or schools can request a 504 plan through the school district’s 504 coordinator, who may also be the IEP coordinator. (Ask the principal if you’re unsure who to contact.) The request must be made in writing. The school will then hold a meeting to decide if the child qualifies and what sup- ports are appropriate. Contact your local school for help, questions and their exact protocol for enrollment.
