[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 24720, member: 23"] 504s don't hold much water, are difficult to enforce, require no parent input, etc. As with IEPs a 504 is for any qualifying disability and pertains to behavioral OR academic problems. We've seen the "good grades" argument often. There are a couple of threads in the archives regarding adverse impact and educational need that you might want to read. In order to get the supports in place that your child needs, it will likely require an IEP. In order to be eligible for an IEP, the child must be evaluated by the school district. I strongly urge you to parent refer for the evaluation. If for some reason he doesn't qualify, you can fall back on the 504 at that time. The same evaluation data can be used. [url]http://www.conductdisorders.com/community/threads/if-i-want-to-write-a-formal-request-for-iep-re-evaluation.22433/[/url] is a sample letter. You can edit out the paragraph about Parent Report and submit it at a later date. There are other sample letters in the archives. It's important to send the letter via Certified Mail -- it kicks in legal requirements for the sd and timelines that parents usually aren't aware of. In that you have a meeting in the morning, I'd also carry two copies to the meeting. Have someone in the office sign as having received the letter. Ex: _____________________ Received by _____________________ Date Time FYI, there's also a thread in the archives on 504s vs IEPs. Let us know how it goes. [/QUOTE]
