[QUOTE="buddy, post: 496396, member: 12886"] sometimes schools will, as a procedure-- not only for money-- but to make sure the reg ed setting is doing their part ( sp ed kids are typical kids first, all kids should have simple accomodations and trial interventions before being put into "sp ed" unless of course there is a pretty deep concern that there is a real learning / behavioral challenge and significant delay, disruption etc... it is a matter of how the parents and child see it and if they tried anything at all...) So, they may need to fill out a form showing they tried x numbers of interventions and they did or did not work and so now they want an evaluation. a 504 plan can be one of those things they may try first. (addition: by this I mean this is often a SD procedure, and it can be good for little issues.... we dont want to have every single little issue that a teacher doesn't want to deal with being referred to sp ed... only true special needs kids... but a parent KNOWS if they are concerned and can bypass this totally) BUT if the parent is already beyond this.... thinking that there may really be something wrong here that needs to be identified... Then she needs to put the request in WRITING... not just an over the phone thing were the sp ed director can steer her to the 504. So she needs to send it registered mail, return receipt requested. That way the federal time clock is started. Just tell the director thank you very much, we can surely consider options once the evaluation is completed. She can just explain that she is very concerned and wants to make sure that they do not lose time in discovering what is really going on here. If she is not sure, a 504 might just bandaid things.... and many times far more intervention needs to happen... espeically if a learning disability is found or if a child has any form of underlying issue that needs to be addressed by professionals in special education. I wish her luck.... [/QUOTE]
