Unlock Your Child's Success by Bridging the K-12 Gap with Section 504 & OT Accommodation Advocacy. I have developed this comprehensive guide for parents and students to be used as a Blueprint for Academic Access and reducing barriers.
Stop fighting for "more time" and start advocating for functional access!
Developed by Occupational Therapist: Dr. Fay Gershgorin, OTR/L, OTD, MBA
As an Occupational Therapist with an MBA, I have spent my career witnessing a recurring tragedy: brilliant, capable students being denied the support they deserve simply because their documentation doesn't speak the language of "functional barriers."
I created this guide because parents are exhausted. They are tired of being told their child needs a $5,000-$7,500 psychoeducational evaluation + an additional same $$$ price re-evaluation for university, all just to secure basic classroom modifications a cost that is often entirely unnecessary. This guide is your roadmap to bypassing that friction and building a legally binding, accessible, clinically backed case for your child’s success.
Why I have developed this Guide for Parents & Students
This comprehensive guide It is a deep dive into the Occupation of Being a Student. We shift the focus from "fixing" your child’s diagnosis to optimizing their environment.
Inside, you will learn:
Your Legal Rights: How to navigate the transition from IDEA (K-12) to ADA/Section 504 (University).
Functional Advocacy: How to document the specific performance barriers with executive dysfunction, sensory overload, and cognitive fatigue, that schools are legally obligated to accommodate.
The Clinical Edge: Why an OTD-led Functional Performance Evaluation provides the exact documentation schools and universities require, often at half the cost of traditional psychoeducational assessments.

Who This Guide Is For
The Overwhelmed Parent and/or the parent who recognizes that their child is struggling and sees the benefit in getting their child evaluated for accommodations.
You’ve shown up to the meetings. You’ve signed the paperwork. You’ve advocated, asked questions, and trusted the process.
And yet… something still feels off.
Your child’s 504 plan may look good on paper, but in real life? It’s not working the way it should.
Maybe the accommodations feel too generic.
Maybe your child is still struggling with organization, time management, or follow-through.
Maybe you’re constantly stepping in to fill the gaps because the system isn’t fully supporting them.
This guide is for you if you’re ready to move beyond “checking boxes” and start understanding what your child actually needs to succeed functionally, practically, and consistently.
The High School Junior or Senior
Graduation is approaching, and while everyone else is focused on college acceptances… you’re quietly wondering:
“What happens to my support after this?”
Here’s the truth most students aren’t told early enough:
The structure you’ve relied on in high school does not automatically follow you into college.
No one is checking in. No one is modifying assignments for you.
You are expected to advocate for yourself with the right documentation.
If that feels overwhelming, you’re not alone.
This guide will help you understand what changes, what stays, and how to walk into your next chapter prepared not panicked.
The Student Who Knows They’re Capable But Feels Stuck
You’re smart. You know you are.
But sitting down to start an assignment feels like hitting a wall.
Staying organized feels impossible.
Deadlines sneak up, focus drifts, and frustration builds.
It’s not a lack of intelligence.
It’s a mismatch between how you’re expected to function and how your brain actually works.
This guide helps you make sense of that gap.
More importantly, it shows you how to advocate for the right supports so you can stop feeling like you’re constantly working twice as hard just to keep up.
The Family Preparing for the Next Level
Whether your child is transitioning from middle to high school, or high school to college, this is a critical window.
The earlier you understand how accommodations really work and how to align them with your child’s functional needs, the more confident and prepared your family will feel.
This guide gives you the clarity, language, and strategy to move forward with intention instead of uncertainty.
Ready to Take the Next Step?
Reading this guide is the beginning.
Applying it—with the right support—is what creates real change.
If you’re realizing that your child’s current accommodations aren’t fully addressing how they function day-to-day… you’re not alone. And you don’t have to figure this out on your own.
I work with families to go beyond surface-level plans and identify what students actually need to succeed in their academic environments.
Through a comprehensive, occupational therapy-based functional evaluation, I assess how your child manages real-world demands like organization, time management, attention, and follow-through—then translate that into clear, effective accommodation recommendations and documentation schools and universities can use.
This is not a one-size-fits-all approach.
This is personalized, strategic support designed for real outcomes.
Whether your child is currently struggling in school
Preparing for a 504 plan review
Or transitioning to college and needs updated documentation
We will make sure they are equipped, supported, and set up for success.
