[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]You ask for an evaluation. After that is completed a decision will be made as to whether he qualifies for a 504, an IEP or nothing. [/b]

504 provides accommodations.

IEP provides accommodations and specialized services. You have to demonstrate a disability, a negative educational impact and a need for specialized services. ADHD can flashlight as a disability under other health impairment if it has a negative educational impact. [/quote]
What district is this? I'm a school psychologist, and we would never, ever concurrently evaluate for a 504 and an IEP. Sometimes parents don't know exactly what they are looking for so we have to talk them through the options of if they'd like to refer for a 504 eval or an IEP/SPED eval, but it's not a thing where we do a broad evaluation and then say 504 or IEP.

In some cases, we might do the IEP eval and determine that the kid doesn't qualify but a 504 evaluation would be appropriate, but that triggers a whole 'nother process. [/quote]
