We provide comprehensive educational and support services for individuals living with sickle cell disease, ensuring they have the tools, advocacy, and guidance needed to thrive academically and vocationally. Our work centers on empowering students from elementary school through college by addressing the unique challenges that can impact their educational journey.
We offer 504 accommodations support to help students secure the classroom adjustments necessary for equitable learning. Our team also delivers IEP services with design and implementation, creating individualized plans that reflect each student’s medical, cognitive, and social needs. For those transitioning to higher education, we provide college disability support services to ensure continuity of care, access to accommodations, and ongoing advocacy.
Through personalized guidance, collaboration with schools, and a deep understanding of sickle cell disease, we help students build confidence, achieve academic success, and pursue meaningful vocational pathways.

504 Accommodations
A 504 plan is a civil rights-based plan established under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. It is designed to ensure that students with disabilities can fully participate in general education programs and activities. Common accommodations provided through a 504 plan include: testing accommodations, assistive technology, health-related support, and behavioral services.

IEP Services
IEP support services are intended to help families, students, and educators navigate the Individualized Education Program (IEP) process. Their goal is to ensure that students receive the accommodations, goals, and services necessary for academic and social success. These services are typically student-centered, collaborative, and customized to meet each child's unique needs.

College Support Services
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protects college students with disabilities from discrimination. Title II covers public colleges and universities, while Title III applies to private institutions. Both require schools to ensure equal access to academics, housing, campus facilities, student services, and extracurricular activities.
In, addition, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act protects students at any school receiving federal funding. It prohibits disability‑based discrimination and requires schools to provide reasonable accommodations that support full participation.
