[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 129141, member: 3704"] Personally, I would ask for a meeting with the teacher and Special Education coordinator. We have had the same problem with our difficult child. His 504 plan allows him extra time to make it between classes in his very large high school building. One teacher kept sending him to the attendance office (even more walking, which is sooo difficult for him as he has an orthopedic impairment) and he eventually had to go to detention.When I wanted to know why, he told me it was for "tardies". I requested a meeting immediately and after everyone finally voiced understanding of the 504 plan (some teachers had not read it, even though we had a group meeting and I met with them all indivdually). The last group meeting worked - no more tardies (at least for this semester :) I think most teachers are truly overwhelmed with papers, and some papers get forgotten. I'm guessing that the teacher in this situation did not appreciate being reminded by difficult child of something that she (the adult) should have remembered. I say "Good for difficult child"! I wish my difficult child would stick up for himself like that! [/QUOTE]
