Try drafting a letter to the SPED director in your school district. Your son is covered by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Have his accommodation added to the IEP. The school can not refuse his accommodation for any legal reason.

I know I can get it added to his IEP. The nurse said we didn't need to add it to the IEP. But since they've ignored my emails for the most part, I just didn't know if he could go to school without a letter from the doctor. I feel like saying he can't come to school without a note has got to be a violation of ADA. Kids with broken arms don't need notes to wear their casts to school.

Honest question but is it strange for a school to request a doctors note on accomodations? It seems like on some level it would be fundamental in the process to document what they need to do and what the disability entails?

It sounds like they aren't eager to accommodate but I'm surprised the Drs note is a standard thing
