Good teachers accomodate in one way or another for many students that do no have 504s or IEPs day-in and day-out.

IDEA precludes a sd from providing special education and related services until a student is eligible for an IEP, but most sds have some type of intervention program. It's not unusual for a sd to want to try interventions before referring a student for IEP evaluation.

NCLB (No Child Left Behind) may be an avenue for you. http://www2.ed.gov/nclb/landing.jhtml
