Allergies, Asthma and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity: Making Appropriate Section 504 Eligibility and Accommodation Decisions
David Richards, Esq.

These three impairments, whose occurrence is increasing, raise several complex
Section 504 issues. How is the law’s “substantial limitation” requirement affected
by medication? What are the common eligibility mistakes schools make when they
fail to look at the right data and ask the right questions?

Through an analysis of Section 504 regulations, OCR decisions and current case
law, you learn which factors determine eligibility, including the impact of health
plans, medical data and student coping skills.

For Section 504-eligible students with these impairments, you’ll learn the dos
and don’ts of their associated accommodations, including:

              •    Demands for on-site or standby nursing services
              •    Transportation
              •    Peanut-free zones — or even entire schools
              •    Expensive environmental changes to the campus
              •    Seasonal changes to attendance requirements
              •    Changing behavior of students and staff — from mandatory
                   hand-washing and limitations on food from home, to scents and
                   chemicals in clothing and personal care products

Plus, you’ll have plenty of time for Q&A, so you can ask Mr. Richards your
specific questions.
