[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 362616, member: 805"] Lables, slables......:disgusted: You know, there are many parents who don't want their child labeled. But in my opinion, many times it's a way to insure services. Certainly "allow extra time for assignments and tests" is a standard mod on an IEP. Remember that a 504 does not have to be adhered to. It is basically a guideline. It varies from school district to school district the amount of weight a school gives the 504. Unless it's in his IEP, there is no guarantee. Two things - first, remember that a good IEP (this is for the future writing of the one I'm sure your son will get) does not include general or wishy-washy type goals and mods/accoms. Just saying things like "preferential seating", "extra time for assignments", "use of a keyboard for lengthy writing assignments" (all standard things you will find for kids with adhd/executive functioning issues) really says nothing. Who decides the preferential seating? The teacher, the student, the parent? What does that really mean". Extra time for assignments means what? An extra day? An extra week? By the end of the grading period? Define lengthy assignment - three paragraphs could be a lengthly assignment to a kid with disgraphia. Who decides whether it's lengthy? A quality IEP will leave no grey area -be specific. The second thing was really that, giving your son partial credit for late assignments is fair unless something specific is spelled out in an IEP. Unless the school/teacher understand that your son's disability requires some accoms/mods to even the playing field through an IEP, there are no guarantees and your son will have to adhere to rules of the entire student body. Some teachers won't even accept late work and the grade for the assignment would be a "0". Sharon [/QUOTE]
