When a student is dismissed from special education, is he automatically eligible for 504?
Yes and no. The student cannot be discriminated against based on history of an impairment. If the 504 Committee determines that the student continues to have a disability that substantially limits a major life activity even though he does not meet IDEIA eligibility requirements, the student would then be eligible for services and protection under Prong 1 of Section 504.
