Addressing the Target Outcomes, Functional Objectives and Functional Skills of Aspiring Aviators in Individualized Education Plans and Section 504 Plans

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has very specific requirements for individuals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) that center around the executive function abilities of individuals without the aid of ADHD medications, which are forbidden for use by the FAA. These abilities are evaluated by the FAA\u27s medical examination process, which involve a background investigation into a person\u27s history. K-12 Administrators and educators can assist young aspiring pilots with ADHD by placing aviation-specific functional educational goals in their Individualized Educational Plans (IEPs) and Section 504 Plans
