[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 394485, member: 1550"] Thank you all. The 504 is ok. It's also a legal document and they know we will hold them to the fire. They won't mess with us once we get the interventions we feel are right. My daughter simply can not remember anything abstract. No, she is NOT on the spectrum. She is not only social, she is so socially adept that she is more like an adult in social situations. Her emotional EQ and life skills are awesome. But she can not remember abstract concepts no matter how hard she studies. She didn't show any Learning Disability (LD)'s (which I think is BS but her ADHD is so bad that the psychologist said she was "very imparied.") As long as there's a label, I really don't care. However, I agree that she does n Occupational Therapist (OT) need to be pulled out of the classroom (which is why no IEP) and that she would do fine with only interventions. She HAS learned as her Achievement Tests show. She simply can not pass a test. Her homework is great, but she has failed every test in every class this year. All of them. Why? Last year she HAD notes. This year she has none and has to rely on her memory. A lot of times she can't "get" concepts too. I tried to explain Buddhism and Hinduism to her, knowing she had a test with a teacher who likes to flunk everyone (and often does). Well, she couldn't retain what I told her, no matter how much I did it. I was furious because the teachers until the testing were saying it was her fault so I wasn't happy going into the meeting and teachers don't intimidate me. So we have no agreement as we are holding out and they have no choice but to accomodate her or we can fight harder. The psychologist said her ADHD was "off the charts." That's considered a disability according to the Civil Rights Dept. in our state. We'll see what happens. [/QUOTE]
