[quote=Anonymous]To PP who had a child with migraines from too much screen time - You should get a medical doctor’s note for the condition then ask for a 504 meeting. Such medical issues that impair a critical life skill like learning should be accommodated by MCPS. I would still have the 504 meeting and bring in data from virtual learning to show the impact. Even with in person school, students as they progress forward through high school are required to use screen devices for much of the day. Then there’s the scenario that any school can be thrown into virtual. If the school denies your request for a 504 plan to accommodate your child, you have grounds to file a 504 complaint for discrimination with the US Department of Education Office of Civil Rights on the basis of a disability. A health condition that impairs major life functions such as concentrating and learning are considered disabilities. For a complaint to be timely, you have 180 days to file.[/quote]
