Get the Initial 504 Plan Request Template!

You request a 504 Plan by sending a written request to your child's school, usually to the principal or 504 coordinator, asking them to evaluate your child for a 504 Plan. Putting it in writing starts the process and creates a record. Our template gives you a ready-to-use letter so you know exactly what to say.

The 504 process starts with a written request for an evaluation. From there, the school gathers information, decides if your child qualifies, and works with you to build the plan. Our guide includes directions that walk you through each step, starting with the request letter.

Your letter should name your child, give the date, clearly ask for a 504 evaluation, and briefly explain your concerns and how they affect your child at school. Our fillable template already has all of these parts built in, so you just add your details.

Send your request to your child's school principal or the school's 504 coordinator. If you're not sure, contact your district special education department or educational services for guidance. Our guide explains who to contact and how to submit your letter.

Yes. You can request a 504 evaluation at any point during the school year if you believe your child has a disability that affects their access to learning. Don’t wait for the school; they may not suggest it. Our template makes it easy to ask.
