[quote=Anonymous]If a child in 10th grade continues to do well in school without accommodations, why would the school test a student who is doing well or find them eligible for a 504? A student has to have a disability that “substantially limits”. So everyone saying how easy it is to just show a diagnosis and get a 504 are not correct.

When a parent provides all this help at home it can be difficult to show how the disability “substantially limits”. And then when parents go in and say I want this for college, schools are even less likely to agree.

It puts parents in a tough situation because if you pull back all the support then the child’s grades go down and those low grades go on their transcript. But if you provide all this help at home the schools can’t see the student needs accommodations.

504:
1) have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities; or (2) have a record of such an impairment; or (3) be regarded as having such an impairment[/quote]
