FAQ
Be sure to include: The name of your child's disability or health condition. Any records of your child's diagnosis, which you can include as an attachment in your email. One or more daily activities that your child is struggling with, like learning, reading, or concentrating.
Yes. A student with an anxiety disorder has a disability if their anxiety disorder substantially limits one or more of their major life activities. An anxiety disorder can, for example, substantially limit concentrating, which is a major life activity under Section 504.
Decisions about who qualifies for Section 504 cannot be based solely on a single source of data (i.e. a doctor's diagnosis or grades). A medical diagnosis is NOT required under Section 504. Once a child has been deemed eligible for accommodations, a Section 504 Plan is then developed by a Section 504 committee.
When doing an evaluation for a 504 plan, the school considers information from several sources, including: Documentation of the child's disability (such as a doctor's diagnosis) Evaluation results (if the school recently evaluated the child for an IEP) Observations by the student's parents and teachers. Academic record.
That's why children who aren't eligible for an IEP may qualify for a 504 plan. Section 504 defines a person with a disability as someone who: Has a physical or mental impairment that “substantially” limits one or more major life activity (such as reading or concentrating).
Below are some examples of direct discrimination: A parent rings a school asking about admission for a child with cerebral palsy. The secretary says, “We don't take disabled children.” A deaf young person is not allowed to take part in a workshop run by a visiting orchestra, as “Deaf children won't benefit from music.”
An IEP gives special education that is unique to each child. It also gives other services (such as therapies and adaptive physical education) to meet the needs of each child. A 504 plan gives changes to the learning setting to meet the needs of each child. Who is eligible?
If you think you were discriminated against on the basis of a disability, your best initial course of action may be to file a complaint with the Office of Civil Rights. They'll investigate the situation on your behalf and try to reach a resolution with the school.
