Good Evening All,

I was hoping to get a little advice/information about a 504 plan for my
daughter.  First a little background information:

Our 5 Year old daughter was diagnosed with Primary Generalized (Absence)
Seizures back in October, 2003.  She has been on Lamictal for 5 months now
and, thankfully, has complete seizure control.

She currently attends a private school for Kindergarten, but due to
financial considerations she will probably be in a public school for First
Grade.  Her kindergarten teacher, at our conference last week, suggested
that if she attends a public school that we file a 504 plan with the school.
She said, while right now our daughter has complete seizure control if we
have to change or discontinue her medications it will help protect her
rights to an education during any transition time from one med to another or
future adjustments to her dosage.(she can be a REAL handful when her dosage
is upped)

So my questions are:

1) While seizures are under control, does she qualify for a 504 plan?
2) What is in, and how do we put together an accommodation plan?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
