[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 6798, member: 23"] In order to qualify for a Section 504 plan, a student must have a problem that affects one major life activity. Major life activities means functions such as caring for ones self, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, and working. §104.3(j)(2)(ii) (emphasis added). This list is not exhaustive. The phrase major life activities is calculated to include those basic activities that the average person in the general population can perform with little or no difficulty. Regarding 504's the US Dept of Ed, OCR division, states "Once it is determined that a child needs special education or related services, the recipient school system must arrange to provide appropriate services." See [url="http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/docs/hq5269.html"]http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/docs/hq5269.html[/url] I've never seen it happen under 504 wherein a 504 student received special education however. That doesn't mean it never happens, but 504's typically provide accomodations only and sometimes related services such as Occupational Therapist (OT). Theoretically, a 504 would work for many students but it seems to me they are given little respect by many school districts. [/QUOTE]
