[QUOTE="keista, post: 430380, member: 11965"] JJJ that doesn't work for me. My kids have high IQs and do exceptionally well on achievement tests. If class grades fall below those standards there is a problem. This appears to be the same problem for shelly. Last year I was told my daughter wouldn't qualify for a 504 - She had all A's. Problem was, due to her anxiety, she didn't behave "normally" in class resulting in unsatisfactory markings in behavior which resulted in her not making honor roll - way to motivate a kid! Anyway, this year she qualified because she got a D in the second term for Science - she had an anxiety attack over the science fair project, and if you don't do the project you get a D for the term - no ifs, ands, or buts! (schoolwide rule) It also didn't hurt that the day a field trip got canceled, they decided to administer a benchmark test. She scored a 67 Her norm is in the 90s Today I signed her 504. I got it because they realized the teachers were already accommodating her, and her gifted ed teacher said that she was showing sings of actively curbing poor behavior while she was visibly distressed. That's where she presented with the most consistency. The guidance counselor said I got lucky because "they" like to see Ds and Fs for these things. I reminded her exactly what she told me last year. To qualify the student must be performing below their ability (IQ). A little "Yay me!" - I got them to change the wording in teacher's notes (was needed because she scored to well on the classroom observation - well, duh! Teachers were already accommodating her) Original phrasing was "refuses to do work" changed it to "unable to do work" Small victory, but they might finally be "getting her" [/QUOTE]
