What if My Child is Not Eligible for Special Education?

Some students may have disabilities that substantially limit their participation in, or access to, school programs, yet do not need special education. These students may qualify for reasonable accommodations in the regular classroom under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and other Pennsylvania education regulations. The rules, called Chapter 15, that apply to these students are different from those governing special education. Chapter 15 regulations and a guideline on Chapter 15 implementation are available.
