[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 23142, member: 23"] 504's are rarely successful. There are several reasons for this in my opinion: the student isn't evaluated by the sd as thoroughly as the student should be, 504s are usually written very, very vaguely (leaving implementation of accommodations to the discretion of each educator), and because parents have little control. 504s are difficult to enforce, even if they are written appropriately. Your child likely needs an IEP (Individual Education Program). There's a Getting Started thread in the Sp Ed Archives that will help you get a general overview. I strongly recommend that you parent refer for an evaluation under IDEA/IEP regs. [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 if you need it. You can edit out the Parent Report info and submit it to the sd later if you wish. It's VERY important to send the letter via Certified Mail. There are timelines involved and the CM kicks them in. If for some reason your child doesn't qualify for an IEP, the same evaluation data can be utilized for 504 purposes. Welcome to the site. [/QUOTE]
