My interpretation of all of this would be, "We are the gatekeepers, and the gates are closed to you."
Whether or not that's a reasonable response on their part would depend on a whole lot of information that's missing here.
Uhhhh... well, in terms of
accommodations, it's true that "need" is the driving force.
HOWEVER... it's incorrect to state that a particular student doesn't
DEMONSTRATE NEED for eligiblity in the first place. That's backwards.
It doesn't sound as though eligibility has ever been evaluated. Has it?
If not, then focus THERE, first and foremost. That's their legal obligation at this point. To evaluate whether or not your child is
eligible for protections under either IDEA or ADA-504, and to go from that point. Don't let them sidetrack you with what they are 'willing' to do without the formal designation.
