Q:
How do you refer a student with a 504 Plan to Special Education?
How can a student be referred from 504 to special education? What process would be used?

I think the question is more procedural and a district decision. The referral process to special education is very clear; however it is asked whether to go first to the Student Support Team or the Multidisciplinary team when the student already has a 504 plan.

Becoming an Effective Advocate means knowing what to do, how to do it, and what your rights are. There is a great book (its published through the California Dept of Education) on everything you need to know regarding Special Education. You are most likely from a different state - but you can order the book for FREE - then see if the laws match to those in your state.
