The premise
504 plans require legal precision and team consensus. AI accelerates drafting; the team owns every accommodation.
What AI does well here
- Generate accommodation language options based on described needs
- Draft eligibility-determination memo structure
- Compare proposed accommodations against an existing plan
- Suggest data the team should review at annual meetings
What AI cannot do
- Make eligibility or accommodation determinations
- Replace team meeting deliberation
- Substitute for parent input or consent
- Audit implementation fidelity
