Leave School Academy Stress

Summary

If a school academy is causing mental distress, documented by a medical professional, you may request accommodations under the ADA. Schools must provide reasonable accommodations, and you may be eligible for a 504 Plan to support your learning needs. Start by requesting a meeting with your schools counselor or administration, providing medical documentation, and discussing the creation of a 504 Plan.
