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.
They don't want to go through the hassle of adding it to the IEP because an IEP can't be ignored as easily as a 504 plan. Your son is entitled to a Free and Appropriate Education (FAPE) and can't be denied schooling. They have two choices: They can accommodate him at school or provide special services at home. Draft a letter to the SPED director and tell that person that your next step is an attorney.

I appreciate the advice. I just really wanted to know if that was legal or not. The letter from the doctor has already been sent because that was easier than standing on principle. I'm just trying to get him through the year. Maybe next year we can homeschool.
