[QUOTE="Martie, post: 22801, member: 284"] Hi, With this many diagnosis's your child needs far more than a 504 plan can offer. If he is not IEP eligible, he needs to be. It has nothing to do with intelligence and by the way, if the SD want him in the gifted program, they should test him. You need to request a full evaluation by certified mail. You also have a right to pursue whatever private evaluations you wish. Generally, it is better to get your own evaluations AFTER the SD evaluates, but the order isn't really important. If you evaluate privately, make sure the result come to you--so you can decide whether or not to release to the SD. What happens to kids whose parents accept "only" a 504 plan is when younger children reach middle school and the demands increase exponentially, a difficult child with severe behavior problems needs the legal protection an IEP confers. With an IEP your child cannot be suspended for more than 10 days per school year without a change of placement and an new FBA and BIP. FURTHERMORE, A CHILD WITH AN IEP CAN NEVER BE EXPELLED-- as in the SD just days--"go away," for a year or even permanently. We have a section of the board that helps parents get services, Sp Ed 101. Feel free to drop by there if you would like. Welcome to our world. Martie [/QUOTE]
