key facts
Parents and guardians of children with severe mental health problems must be well informed about their rights. There are two federal laws that can help families secure appropriate educational services for their child:
- Section 504 is designed to ensure that individuals are not discriminated against on the basis of a number of factors, including a disability. ADHD and other early onset mental illnesses qualify as disabilities under section 504. Students with these illnesses may be entitled to receive a 504 plan that identifies appropriate accommodations or interventions for students with disabilities to help them achieve success in school. more...
- The accommodations provided in a 504 plan may not be enough for a child with ADHD to succeed in school. Parents may wish to consider seeking services for their child under IDEA. Special education services under IDEA go well beyond those typically provided in a 504 plan. These services involve the development of an individualized education program (IEP), which is a detailed plan outlining how the student's academic and social needs will be met to ensure that the student receives an appropriate education. more...
