[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happens to people in our school is that schools don't argue about the existence of ADHD but say there is no educational impact and thus no need for any accommodations. [/quote] Again, know the difference between the IDEA and Section 504. The IDEA requires that the student has an educational impact that necessitates special education services. However, educational impact is more than just passing grades so you should have the school clarify what criteria they are measuring if educational impact exists or does not exists. Your child may still qualify for accommodations to equalize the playing field under Section 504. Section 504 is for [b]equal access[/b] to any class (even above grade level classes) that are offered to children who do not have disabilities.[/quote]
