Are you a parent or guardian of a child living with IBD? Whether school accommodations are brand new to you or something you have experience with, you are not alone. Navigating 504 plans can be challenging, and we’re here to help make this process easier.

Tomorrow night @ 7:00 PM ET on Zoom, we’re hosting an informative session on understanding 504 plans for pediatric IBD patients. This meeting will feature two 504 Plan Coordinators, Amanda Rosetti, Ed. S (K-3) and Christine Willis, B.S.Ed. (High School).

Amanda Rosetti is the parent of a recent high school graduate living with IBD and is a MTSS/504 Coordinator and School Test Coordinator at Saint Martin East Elementary in Ocean Springs, MS. She offers a unique perspective as both a parent and professional on the “ins and outs” of 504 plans. Having navigated the highs and lows of IBD as a caregiver, Amanda is dedicated to ensuring families are aware of their own rights and know what to ask for when trying to support their children in school.

Christine Willis, a colleague of Amanda’s, is a Teacher Support Team Interventionalist at East Central High School in Hurley, MS. She also brings extensive professional experience navigating the complexitities of 504 plans at the secondary level.
