School Letter: 504 Plan

This Form Assistant will help you create a letter to your child's school to request an evaluation for a 504 Plan.

If your child’s needs do not qualify for an Individualized Education Program (IEP), they may be eligible for a 504 plan instead. Your child is eligible for a 504 plan if they have a mental or physical impairment that substantially limits learning or another life activity.

In your letter, you should:

• Include specific information about your child’s needs. Describe examples of your child’s behaviors and difficulty in school. Explain why the school should evaluate your child.
• Include important documents. Attach copies of any important documents (like medical evaluations, psychological evaluations or performance tests that support your request).
