www.child-behavior-guide.com (2000) uThere are two laws under which children diagnosed with ADHD can receive special help in school. Section 504 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973, a civil rights law, prohibits programs that receive federal funds from discriminating against children with disabilities and, under certain circumstances, requires school districts to make accommodations for the ADHD student. uThe other federal law, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), mandates that eligible students receive access to special education and/or related services, and that the services are designed to meet each child's unique educational needs. Public schools are obligatory by federal law to evaluate students suspected of having a disability The law (Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act) requires schools to follow specific procedures and standards to perform such evaluations.
