Can someone tell me what the process is for getting a child a 504 plan? I think DD will need one for her ADHD. All that I really want are testing accommodations (for instance no timed tests that "count" towards grades or class placements), and a reduced workload if she is having problems with speed. Does the school need to do a comprehensive evaluation, so if I put in a request in writing, do I request that, or just that she is evaluated in terms of her disability and what accommodations will need to be made? I really would prefer the school NOT do a comprehensive evaluation but is that what we have to do in order to get a 504? She already has a medical diagnosis of ADHD.
