504

[Guest guest]

Hi List

Sorry for the cross post, but could someone tell me a little more about a

504? I remember reading a little about it but was unsure of what exactly

it is. Thank you!!

Social skill classes, a girls lunch bunch that meets

weekly (hopefully weeekly), work (reports) may be written

on computer, extra set of books (for at home), help

with organizing her desk (or locker) at least weekly,

extra time on written reports, help with organization

skills if she has this issue with where to start on report

writing and other long papers, accomodations in PE if needed

such as not having kids pick partners (assign them) ...

You may also want her assigned to classrooms that have

the co-teacher for the special education students so that there are

two teachers in the room.

Our advocates in NJ recommend trying to get an IEP it holds

up the services better long term through the grades and

many schools won't give services without. Some districts

however really don't want the extra work of an IEP and do give the

services needed.

Good luck,

Pam (my daughter is in 7th grade)
