Abstract
How educators can best serve the needs of students with attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is rapidly becoming a major issue. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is one avenue actively pursued by advocacy groups to obtain services for children with ADHD. As a result, Section 504 is experiencing a resurgence; however, because it has had little educational application since the inception of public law 94-142, many educators are unaware of the requirements posed by Section 504. A review of relevant office of civil rights rulings on eligibility, assessment, and accommodations for children with ADHD is provided.Keywords
