Advanced Section 504 Training - Fagen Friedman & Fulfrost

Important Considerations:
Reconsidering Eligibility
The court noted that the ADA Amendment Act
expanded eligibility as of January 1, 2009, to
include students whose impairments substantially
limit their reading, thinking, or concentration.
The district claimed it planned to reconsider the
student's eligibility in light of the amended ADA,
however, the court rejected the district's request to
dismiss the parents' lawsuit because the meeting
to reconsider Zachary's 504 eligibility had not yet
occurred.
