to identify similarities and differences between IEPs, IFSPs, and 504 Plans and the laws governing each.  Creating a Venn Diagram is a way to visually represent these similarities and differences.  Think of each plan (IEP, IFSP, 504) as a circle.  These circles will overlap when there are similarities between plans.  Differences, or things that are unique to only one plan, would be listed in the non-overlapping portion of the circle.
