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

Of course they do. My son has very thoroughly documented illness and a comprehensive IEP. Minus the wheelchair which is new. But, he wears leg braces. They never needed a note for that.

ETA: Once you go through the whole process of setting up an IEP, you meet annually or as needed. But, they don't typically ask for new documentation except at the beginning of each school year.

Not sure what's going on with the school. Most schools jump when presented with a request for accommodations. They seem awfully bold for some reason.
