504 Plans
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is a federal law that requires public schools to provide necessary accommodations to students with qualifying disabilities in order to ensure equal access to the educational environment.
A medical diagnosis, alone, is insufficient to qualify a student as disabled under Section 504. Instead, a Section 504 team meeting must be convened and your student must be evaluated, in order to determine whether a student, in fact, has a qualifying disability under Section 504.
In evaluating your student, a team of knowledgeable individuals will consider whether the student has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, without regard to the ameliorative effects of any mitigating measures.
