We have students who are placed on 504's without being tested. Most often it is in response to medical issues which may not be permanent in duration. For example, there was high school student whose recovery from West Nile was causing excessive fatigue and short term memory issues. His prognosis was for an eventual full recovery, but the process was very slow in coming and his condition impacted his performance at school. He was placed on a 504 plan without testing.
