504 plan accommodations for splenectomy free#

Section 504 also requires that a student with a disability receive an equal opportunity to participate in athletics and extracurricular activities and to be free from bullying and harassment based on disability. The child may need accommodations and modifications to enable them to receive ‘equal access.'” Decisions should be based on what each child needs to receive equal access to education. Accommodations and modifications should be “designed to meet their individual educational needs as adequately as the needs of students without disabilities are met. The law does not include limits on what can be done to compensate for the child’s disability. The purpose of Section 504 is to ensure that the child with a disability has equal access to an education and “a broad spectrum of protections against discrimination on the basis of disability.”Īll eligible students “are entitled to receive regular or special education and related aids and services that are designed to meet their individual educational needs as adequately as the needs of students without disabilities are met.” 34 C.F.R. Should I be concerned, or is there perhaps another way of documenting what happened today? Thank you!

Since the school is the party that in essence refused his accommodation (by error), why would my son sign a doc that states he refused his right to this accommodation? My hesitance in signing is that his refusal could mean a battle to keep the accommodation further down the line/first MS IEP meeting.

Well, I just looked at the ‘paperwork’ and it’s a “refusal of accommodation” form. I was informed I’d need to sign some paperwork, and it would be coming home in my son’s folder. My son said he felt “okay” in the bigger room, so I agreed to send the test in. I was informed of the mishap over the phone, and they were apologetic and asked if I would like to authorize a “waiver” allowing the test to go to the DOE by 5pm tonite, or receive ‘no score’ for this portion of the test. My son’s ICT teachers (5th grade) ‘forgot’ to comply with his accommodation for small group classroom (6-8 students) during today’s NYC ELA exam. Hi – apologies if I’m posting this question in the wrong place.
