Find out who the 504 Coordinator is for your district by calling the district office of your school system. You may also want to send a copy to the 504 Coordinator. Others can refer a student for evaluation, but you must be notified. The conditions can be physical, medical, mental or emotional. An evaluation is needed to document the substantial limitation of a major life activity.
Evaluation can include information from the parents, medical records, and any other sources.
Evaluation does not always mean special testing. ECAC has a Section 504 information packet available, free for parents. Workshops are also available.
