The point is is that the disability very much IS "relevant to the school," unless the student intends to ask for absolutely nothing during the student's years at the school.

Sure, there are kids with ADHD who just need one pill of Adderall XL in the morning, administered by mom, and they're good to go for the school day with nothing more from the school.

But the minute the family starts asking for extended time, double time, particular seating, permission for transcribers, limited homework, copies of teachers' notes, different discipline measures … social cueing, teacher time after school, counselor-led 'lunch bunch," …. now you're asking something extra of the school.  Sometimes, the school won't play and it will be suggested that the student's needs might be better met in a different setting.  aka, you don't get a re-enrollment contract in March.[/quote]

yes, on the same page. if they are asking for accommodations they need to disclose.[/quote]
