I would say to all the teachers here who feel that their students' health needs are burdensome and should be managed by an aide, don't blame the parents for being "pushy". Instead, use the system to get that health aide for your student. Refer the student for evaluation under Section 504. If the student is found to be disabled and in need of "related services" (i.e. a health services) at school, the district will be required to allocate an aide for field trips, etc. Many of the conditions you describe here, such as asthma, diabetes and severe food allergies, qualify as disabilities under Section 504. Let's use the system to get help for students AND teachers. Name: Email: Subject
