A: Yes, a student with a 504 plan can request to record classroom lectures if it is deemed necessary to address their educational needs related to their disability. The request should be included in the 504 plan and accommodations will be made accordingly.

Regarding the other accommodations you mentioned, it is possible for a 504 plan to include such accommodations if they are deemed necessary to address the student's disability-related needs. However, the specific accommodations included in a student's 504 plan will vary based on the individual needs of the student and the recommendations of their healthcare provider and educational team.

To request accommodations or modifications, the student's parent or guardian should contact the school's 504 coordinator and request a meeting to discuss their concerns and the accommodations that the student needs. The school's 504 team will then evaluate the request, gather relevant information, and work with the student's parent or guardian to develop a 504 plan that includes appropriate accommodations and modifications to support the student's academic success.
