Q: medical 504 letter

My 16 year old daughter has been in on-line school because of her intractable migraines. She had to miss to much school and could not keep her grades up or attend regularly.

She has been doing better because she is in on-line school and because of regular appointments with the headache centers accupuncturist. She is also seeing a cranial osteopath that has been helping her.

She will be attending the local community college in the fall as a Running Start student. She had a medical 504 in place at her local high school and I am trying to get one in place at the college. The college wants a letter from her doctor and the doctor wants to know what needs to be in the letter. I am not sure how to answer that, I had assumed he/she would know.

What do I do?

Hi Shirley,

We have a discussion forum that talks about this topic and may have some useful information in it for you. The topic is called: 504 plans - Need a list of accomodations.

If you'd like to register there, you'll have to do it over again once there because it's a separate membership database, but you can use the same member name, email address, and password that you used here. You can find our forum at http://forums.healthcentral.com/discussion/migraine/forums.

I hope this helps,

Nancy

I have had to do something like that at my university, all you have to do is call the college and ask them you may get transfered a few times but that is the best way usially submissions of medical documents take alot longer at the the post secondary level.

Good luck!

Lauren
