[quote=Anonymous]A 504 requires a diagnosed disability and will only provide accommodations and possible some services like OT and PT or vision services. An IEP does not require a medical diagnosis.  The school team (gen Ed teacher, sped teacher, possibly a school psych, etc) will evaluate the child and determine if the child presents with delays so severe that special education and related services are provided.  As a parent, you can make a formal referral for special education evaluations. I believe the timeline for the school to complete the evaluations is 60 days.

A child can receive an IEP by qualifying for Other Health Impairment for ADHD, with or without the diagnosis. However, they must need specialized instruction and not just accommodations.

In order to require accommodations through a 504, the diagnosis is needed.

All that said. Every child had a right to succeed and revive what supports they need in order to access their education.  The accommodations you described are things that should be expected if a child needs them. [/quote]
