[quote=Anonymous]I have a kid who had an arm in a cast for four months in 10th grade, although it was his non-dominant hand.

Two things:

First, the school will work with you. My kid had several classes (ceramics and PE) he simply could not participate in and it was fine. They did not punish my kid for something outside his control.

Second, I’m not sure exactly what your child’s situation is but my son became very skilled very quickly at doing things with just one arm and using what little function he had in his broken arm.

For my son the school did not write up a formal 504 they just did what he needed. You can get a 504 if the school is not giving you what you need, but I’d personally take a starting assumption that the school is going to be inclined to help whether documented in a 504 or not.

I agree dictation can help or a typing accommodation. For some subjects like math he may simply have terrible handwriting but learn to do the minimum writing with his non-dominant hand.[/quote]
