[QUOTE="liz, post: 490949"] Thanks Buddy! That is exactly what I think- that they are not realizing that he needs more helps in place and I am planning to make sure that he has what he needs although I am not sure if that would be a 504 plan or just an addition to his IEP? I do know that they will not help me figure out what that is because they do not want any more work than they already have so I have to DEMAND what I want, not ask for their advice on how to help him. If I have to pull the American Disabilities Act one more time I am going to scream. They say and I quote: "Sammy knows how to look at the poster of the writing process and follow it; but he doesn't do so. He just rushes through it." to which I reply: " Sammy has ADHD. While I am medicating him for this, he still needs frequent reminders to follow certain guidelines while doing his work. Is this not something the writing teacher or someone else can do?
