IEP or 504 Plan Accommodations for students with sickle cell

---

• Allow frequent breaks to rest or hydrate, especially during physical activities or periods of fatigue.
• Access to a private space for rest if feeling unwell or experiencing pain.
• Modified physical education (PE) participation (alternative activities, lighter exercise, or the option to sit out).
• Flexible attendance policies, recognizing that absences due to illness may occur frequently.
• Allow extended time for assignments, tests, and exams when experiencing pain or fatigue.
• Allow for frequent hydration breaks, especially during hot weather or physical exertion.
• Permission to carry a water bottle and snacks to maintain hydration and blood sugar levels.
• Permission for extra bathroom breaks if necessary due to hydration needs or discomfort.
• Temperature control (access to a fan or temperature regulation to avoid extreme heat or cold, as both can trigger pain crises).
• Accommodations for pain management (e.g., allowing medication or a break when pain levels increase).
• Adapted testing environments (quiet, low-stress environment with extended time if needed).
• Allow flexible assignment deadlines during crises or pain episodes.

• Provide alternative formats for assignments (e.g., oral presentations instead of written work if the student is experiencing pain or fatigue).
• Extended deadlines for projects or homework if the student is unable to complete work due to illness.
• Modified class schedules or reduced workload when pain or fatigue interfere with learning.
• Access to notes from classmates or teachers if the student misses class due to illness.
• Access to online or recorded lessons if the student is unable to attend school for extended periods.
• Reduced classroom stress (e.g., shortened periods or reduced group work if too strenuous).

• Create an understanding classroom environment regarding the student's condition, with respect for privacy and sensitivity.
• Encourage peer support for missed work, class notes, and assistance in carrying materials if necessary.
• Regular check-ins with school counselor or nurse to assess physical and emotional well-being.
• Support from a case manager or designated person to monitor the student’s health and academic progress.

• Proximity to the nurse’s office for easy access if the student needs medical attention or rest.
• Access to air conditioning or heating if the student has trouble with temperature regulation.
• A seat in a cooler or less busy area of the classroom to minimize exposure to temperature extremes and to avoid stressors.

• Permission to leave class early or arrive late to avoid crowded hallways or stressful situations.
• Access to transportation accommodations (e.g., modified bus schedule or alternate transport if physical pain or fatigue is a concern).

• Emergency action plan for sickle cell crises, including clear instructions for staff regarding signs and symptoms of a pain crisis.
• Designated staff to be trained on recognizing and responding to pain crises, including administering medication or contacting medical professionals.

• Regular communication with the student’s healthcare provider(s) to stay updated on the student’s health status and any required accommodations.
• Parental involvement to ensure coordination of care and understanding of any new medical needs or issues.
