[QUOTE="dadside, post: 255742, member: 5707"] Welcome! ... You've found a great resource with a lot of people here with more experience in this than me. First, to answer your big question, I think no. I understand 504s are aimed more to accommodate physical needs like wheelchair access, not emotional/psychological issues which is at issue here. In any event, a 504 plan has no "teeth" allowing easy enforcement. I see the computer issue as non-critical, even though the school dealt with it fairly harshly ([I]45 days[/I] no school computer use.. for a first offense). The I-Pod is another matter though, and your son did get off light. I strongly suggest discussing the matter with a psychologist. There may be more going on than meets the eye. Also, tell the school what you are doing. If any psychological issues are identified, or reasonably suspected, you might then reasonably take steps to secure an IEP which could provide some behavoral allowances -- but likely not stealing. Also, if his behavior is an escalating problem, you might look into local youth groups (if any) targeting just such kids successfully. Last thought, is to check with the school to get any assignment/work appropriate for him to complete while he is out of school. [/QUOTE]
