Lake Forest High School is prepared to provide an appropriate education for all students with disabilities and prohibits any discrimination against students with a disability. A student with a disability is anyone who has a mental or physical impairment which substantially limits one or more major life activities. Eligibility is determined through identification and evaluation procedures specified in the Americans For Disability Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.

An appropriate education for eligible students may consist of education in regular courses with reasonable accommodations and/or supplementary services/programs designed to meet the unique needs of a particular student. Adjustment in academic requirements and expectations may be necessary in some situations.

Section 504 applies to a broader range of students than the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) which governs the delivery of special education services. While all special education students are qualified under Section 504, not all qualified Section 504 students meet special education eligibility requirements. For additional information, please contact the student's counselor or the Director of Special Education.
