Daughter supposedly has such severe ADHD that it seriously impairs her, but the school wants a 504 instead of an IEP. I was ok with that, but they didn't want her to take her notes with her to her tests...just a small 3X5 card. The meeting went on foooreverrrrrrrr and got contentious. But hub and I said "no thanks." Now the Special Education director is going to try to put together a 504 that we will accept. He was sweating a lot...lol. I told him the notes are a dealbreaker. The Special Education teacher was almost in tears. It was a mess.
Another meeting is scheduled and will keep being scheduled until something happens. She is too impaired not to get services, and hub and I are too disgusted to settle for "just a little." Nope. So the saga continues. For the record, this time the Advocates weren't all that helpful. We still are at checkmate.
Good news is, although daughter can not take a test without notes, and has failed all of her tests, s he is passing all of her classes by doing well on her homework. So we can wait it out and make them sweat a little. They know we will go to mediation or file a complaint if they don't offer her something we accept. as adequate. I can't believe how dense the Special Education teacher was!!!
