By Deborah Watson


Federal laws are viewed to effectively offer services together with accommodation for special students who have disabilities. It becomes essential if a parent understands clearly the differences which exist between the IEP plans and 504 plans as they can help an individual to effectively navigate through the public education system for a given child. In the U. S. A the government issued guidelines concerning adhd civil rights.

There were two major concerns which involved lack of services, evaluations together with the understanding of ADHD. Eligibility is actually based on with individuals possessing a disability which in turn would affect the general life functions. Some individuals listed that would actually pertain some of the students suffering from ADHD would be thinking, concentrating while at the same time reading.

So as to effectively avoid any kind of discrimination some accommodations were put in place to a level playing ground of all students in the general setting of education. The office of civil rights tends to offer the detailed information concerning the unseen verdict of ADH. This letter tends to stress on the need of understanding the medical evaluation of patients suffering from such kind of a disease with an aim of providing relevant support and evaluation as well.

In a letter which was basically sent to all public schools bearing the title know your rights, these institutions were supposed to adhere to the set law by effectively identifying the victims of ADHD and then offer such students a good and effective accommodation which would help such student to learn as excepted.

The guidelines availed to the schools were arrived at after a long duration of time of complaints from parents who argued that their kids were not given special attention and the institutions did not offer protection to such students from getting bullied. Majority of teachers in most of schools are not familiar with the ADH disorder.

The inability of most of institutions to provide the expected services to the affected children suffering from this kind of disorder results to very serious social, emotional without forgetting the education harm. In recent years there has been a rising trend of kids who are affected by ADH disorder which has resulted to several controversies.

Under the federal law the schools are supposed to identify those students who are suffering from such disorder and support such students accordingly by highlighting textbooks passages, recording lectures even offering such students some additional time especially during exams. The guidelines are very clear to district schools that they are supposed to effectively evaluate students who might have such a disorder even if such students show some high academic performance.

Unfortunately majority of these students do not actually receive the services which they are supposed to receive since most of parents are not aware of the kind of help which their child must be receiving. During previous years before 1991 kids who were suffering from this type of a condition were not able to get special type of learning not unless they were found to have some other type of disability.
