[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 290758, member: 1233"] Oh - I know I wrote a book before, but this MUST be said. SKIP THE 504 AND GET AN IEP!! You will probably have enough data after the testing to qualify for an IEP. Go over to the Special Education forum and ask them about the difference between the 504 and the IEP. Mainly the 504 has NO legal authority. The IEP is backed by federal LAW. It has FAR more protections and they go into place as soon as you send the written request for the evaluation for IEP and last until the IEP team (including YOU and an advocate if you would like one) decides he doesn't qualify for one. The request MUST be sent by certified mail, signature required. Return receipt is also a good idea. Don't take the "easy" road and deliver it yourself or just ask a teacher/principal about it. THe request establishes a timeline that the evaluations must be done in, and it puts those protections into place. If you deliver the letter or make a verbal request there is no way to guarantee that the protections are in place. The school will then ignore teh request or wait as long as they want and you have NO way to push them to be done sooner. Just wanted to add that. [/QUOTE]
