[QUOTE="Martie, post: 7659, member: 284"] Wincha, There is no IE provision for a 504. Request a full IE for an IEP--if they don't qualify her then the same evaluation can be used for a 504 plan--which is not USUALLY worth the trouble in my opinion. Some people have had good results with 504s but since there is no enforcement, it means that the school's compliance is VOLUNTARY. Reading your post about this being your 3rd child with special needs suggests to me that the SD is unlikely to be very compliant to a 504. I would take offense personally that Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is being treated as a behavioral problem. We have had our differences over Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) as an emotional disorder--but ED a WHOLE lot better than BD. I have been there done that several times with an ED kid who NEVER evidenced the "typical" types of behavior problems, e.g., he was never sent to the office in 9 years of public school for any behavior problems--while he was suicidally depressed. Depression is not a behavior problem--at least not in an 8 year old. I won't go on.....However, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is a lot closer to ED than BD if you cannot get OHI. I sent a child to KDG who loved school--by 2nd grade he was close to school refusal. The school did that--specifically his teachers in first and second grades. Teachers can really ruin school for bright kids and then blame the kid because based on testing, he/she COULD do the work. Well duh--without the teacher's put-downs, demeaning and punishing, maybe, but certainly not with it. Send your IE request by CERTIFIED mail and be prepared for a BIG fight. This teacher does not want to help. Martie [/QUOTE]
