[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 129248, member: 1233"] Not sure what the standards are, but please DON'T let them put him on 504 instead of IEP. 504's have very little to back them up, but IEPs have much in the laws to enforce them. While we have not had troubles with thank you's schools with the 504, many HAVE and I know our middle school will NOT follow a 504 plan. I won't be able to make them either. I would push the school so he at least progresses at the rate HE can. I worked with my son's ED class in 5th grade as a volunteer. The next year I was helping at the middle school and one child from the class was just sitting there. He was being given all the regular work, no modifications except no failing if he didn't do the work. He COULDN'T, in any way, do the work. But that, in my humble opinion, does not excuse the school from finding a situation where he COULD learn something. The work could have been altered for him, given in sp ed class (except the teacher there would not let ANYONE be in her room for more than 30 minutes - in her own words on a printed note sent to all her students' families!), or an aide provided to help him. But the school was fine with letting him just sit there like a vegetable, and his mom was not operating on a mental level to push for any changes. It made me really sad. YOU can push to see your son is challenged on HIS level (Free and Appropriate Public Education) and isn't allowed to just vegetate. Sorry they actually told you this. Fight for the IEP!!!
