Describe some of the key differences in eligibility and services for students with ADHD between IDEA 2004 and
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: Answers should discuss the following:
IDEA requires an IEP describing goals based on current level of performance, educational placement, services provided, and how progress will be measured; 504 requires a 504 Plan that outlines appropriate accommodations, evidence-based interventions, and related services.
IDEA: students qualify typically as "other health impaired"; 504: students must have a physical or mental condition that substantially limits a major life activity such as school IDEA requires a complete evaluation with parental consent; 504 does not require a medical diagnosis and the parents' participation is not an entitled right
IDEA is appropriate for students with more intense needs; 504 is appropriate for those who need only minor support
