My son has always performed well above grade level and the school has NEVER once suggested moving him to a 504. The only accommodation he has/needs is an interpreter which they provide for school and sports (he's in high school and plays 3 different sports over the course of the year.) He's in 4 honors classes-next year 5 A/P classes, and it's never been an issue. Guess I've been lucky! Joan Starn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
