Accommodations don’t change what kids learn, just how they learn it. The goal is to remove barriers and give kids access to learning.
Families or schools can request a 504 plan through the school district’s 504 coordinator. This person may also be the IEP coordinator. (Ask the principal if you’re not sure who to contact.) The request must be in writing.
Before writing this letter, identify your child's disability. Make a list of accommodations you provide, the teacher provides unofficially, or accommodations you think may help your child. Include these examples in your letter to the district. Sometimes including a note for a doctor or therapist can be helpful.
