504 Plan Builder

A complete school accommodation plan is already built and waiting below — assembled from national guidance, current on CGM, automated insulin delivery, and phones as medical devices, with the source behind every ask. Your job isn't to build it. It's to make it yours.

📱 Works on phone, tablet, and desktop, all by tapping. Two minutes gets you a printable plan; an hour gets you ready for the meeting.

0Accommodations in your plan

51State law lookups

Describe the situation in your own words. This searches the accommodations in this tool — it doesn't answer questions or give advice.

Step 1

Tell it about your kid

Tap through these. Every choice changes which accommodations show up and how the plan reads. Nothing here is required.

Grade band

Drives the self-management section and adds age-specific items.

Pronouns

So the plan reads like a document instead of a form.

Insulin delivery

Pick yours — phone-controlled and automated systems unlock protections most template plans have never heard of. No pick is favored; every major system is listed.

Glucose monitoring

Emergency glucagon

How much can they do alone?

The ADA's guidance is explicit that this tracks development, not age. Pick what's true today.

Does the school have a nurse?

Be honest here. It changes the staffing language considerably.

Anything else true?

Tap all that apply. Each one adds accommodations built for that situation.

Names for the document

The only typing in this whole tool, and all of it is optional.

Step 2

What your state actually allows

This is the piece almost every family skips, and it decides how much of your plan is even possible. States differ enormously — some let trained non-nurse staff give both insulin and glucagon, some allow glucagon only, some say nothing at all. Tap your state, open the link, answer three questions.

Pick your state

Opens the American Diabetes Association's page for that state's laws.

Step 3

Choose your accommodations

You don't have to touch any of these — everything is already in your plan, and skipping straight to Step 4 is a fine choice. If you do want to tune it: Standard is language most districts accept without much argument, Ask for it takes a conversation, and Stretch is a real ask that some districts grant and many won't. Tap any grey chip to see the source behind an item.

Step 4

Your plan

✓
This is ready to print right now. For the strongest version, tap your child's devices in Step 1 — that adds the CGM and pump protections — and add their name, or print as-is and write names in by hand. Everything below this section is preparation for the meeting, not more required steps.

Yellow marks are suggested numbers — how many trained staff, how many minutes, how many days. They're reasonable defaults; change them to fit your school by tapping Edit.

Read-only · tap Edit to change the wording
You edited the wording, so the plan is no longer rebuilding from your selections. Print, copy, and download all use your edited version.

Step 5

The substitute teacher sheet

Your 504 is twelve pages. A substitute will read one. This is the one — built from your choices above, meant to live at the front of every sub folder and in the main office.

One page · print several
Step 6

What they'll say, and what to say back

None of this is adversarial. Most people across the table want to help and are working from a picture of diabetes care that's fifteen years out of date. Your job is to be the calmest, best-prepared person in the room. Tap any line to open the response.

Before you walk in

Sentences that should make you sit up

Said kindly, usually by someone who means well. Each one describes something federal guidance says a school can't do.

Before the meeting

Get your paper together

Walking in with these turns a negotiation into a review. Tap as you go.

Step 7

If they say no

Go in order. Skipping rungs costs you credibility, and the deadlines at the bottom are real and short.

Step 8

When they strike an item

The district crossed something out or watered it down. Pick the item, and get the argument for the room plus a follow-up email paragraph you can send that afternoon — each one built on the item's actual source.

The item

Say this in the room

Follow-up email

Receipts

Everything this was built from

Nothing in this tool is invented. Every accommodation traces to one of these, and the grey chips throughout link straight to the relevant one.

🔒
Everything you type stays on your device. This tool runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you enter — your child's name, school, devices, state, or anything else — is transmitted, stored on a server, or seen by anyone. (Like most websites, the page itself loads its fonts from the web.) Your progress saves automatically to your own browser's local storage and nowhere else, so you can leave to look something up — or lose the tab — and pick up where you left off.
This tool is for educational purposes only. It is not medical advice, not legal advice, and not a substitute for your child's care team, your district's process, or an attorney or advocate. Nothing here should be used to make a treatment decision. Clinical details — doses, targets, ratios, thresholds, and timing — belong in a Diabetes Medical Management Plan signed by your child's prescriber, not in a 504 plan.
Laws on 504 eligibility, glucagon and insulin administration by non-nurse staff, and student self-management vary by state and change over time. Confirm what applies where you live using the state links above.
