What qualifies a child for a 504 Plan?
A student is eligible for a 504 plan if they have any disability that limits daily life activities - like walking, seeing, breathing, hearing or speaking.
This includes those who have been diagnosed with ADHD, Autism, Diabetes, Epilepsy, Asthma, hearing or vision impairment, chronic asthma or allergies, and even mental health conditions like anxiety or depression.
504 Plans contain accommodations that change how a child receives instruction but it doesn’t change what they learn. If you think your child needs additional support through a 504 plan, you can request that your school evaluate them.
