[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a HS Sped Teacher, extra curricular activities are dependent on academic success. If a child is struggling academically because they cannot handle the commitment of their activity (sports is the most common one we see in HS), they need to stop the activity until their grades improve.

In fact, IEPs can cover football or any other extra-curricular offered by the school system.  See the DOE guidance.

And, even organizations like the NCAA acknowledge that some disabilities (like ADHD and others) are “education impacting disabilities” and specifically state that,” If you have a documented EID, you must meet the same initial-eligibility standards as other students but may be provided certain accommodations to help meet those standards. ”

Kids can get both accommodations to meet eligibility standards to participate, and accommodations during the extra-curricular.  It’s a highly fact-dependent, individualized analysis. [/quote]
