This is one of the major reasons I choose to exercise my right for Ryan to have a 504. Section 504 is federal law. Once you have that designation, you have legal documentation and a precedent set for your child.
I'm no lawywer by any means. But it *seems* that it would be very difficult for X school to say, "Oh, your child doesn't qualify...", especially if he/she DID qualify at Y school before transferring AND had an approved, thorough and implemented 504. It would make it hard for a school to say, "That can't be done." or "We have to consider the rights of everyone..." or something to that effect.
Now what I would really like to read would be posts from people who have been in this situation, how it was handled, their experiences, etc.

I think I will start a new post about moving with a 504...it might generate more responses. Thanks!
