<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Have they applied for DRS (Department of Rehabilitation Services)? The student does not have to be on an IEP or 504 to apply to get money from DRS. They do have stipulations and they grant money on certain
tier levels has to be available, but it is worth a try! Their parents need to go to the DRS office or they can download the application form off of the internet.
