 I forgot  this one thing:
"There are several common misconceptions about the criteria for 
eligibility for  504 Plans.  Section 504 does not require a child to have a learning 
disability or for a physical disability to impact the child's academic ability. 
For example, a student who is in a wheelchair (physical disability) who is 
earning straight A's (no learning disability) must be provided with a ramp to 
access the school. Similarly, a student with Celiac Disease (and yes, it does 
qualify under the definition of physical disability) who earns straight A's still 
qualifies for accommodations under Section 504. There are no academic criteria 
for 504 qualification. Many parents were misinformed about this by the schools.
     Many people had heard of 504 but didn't bother trying to have a 504 Plan 
set up at their child's school because they didn't trust the school to 
provide safe gluten free meals. They just send in lunch from home every day and make 
arrangements for the teachers to keep gf treats on hand."
