Answer

An I.E.P. or 504 Plan may supplement accepted documentation (e.g. a current psycho-educational assessment), but an IEP or 504 Plan generally is not sufficient by itself to document a disability and the current functional limitations necessary to determine appropriate accommodations.
Assessment information and other material used to develop an IEP or Section 504 plan may be helpful to document a current disability or the need for academic accommodation or auxiliary aids and services.
