[quote=Anonymous]I recommend a few things: 1. Read up on ADHD accommodations available. There are some good resources online, including from the Department of Ed, ADDITUDE magazine and their podcast, etc. Many have lists of potential accommodations. 2. Show your child the lists of accommodations and ask which would be helpful & why to accommodate them . 3. Write up a letter/ memo requesting accommodations. Here is an outline: -intro ( we are requesting the below 504 accommodations for documented adhd) -the past denial was inappropriate and we are asking for reconsideration. Narrate the who what where of the denial. Link to references/ you find online from reputable sources saying it is illegal/ inappropriate that deny based on grades.. etc -Insert a two column table with the accommodations you are asking for, and the reason based on how adhd is imparting the student’s ability to thrive socially or academically at school. If you can include links to the resources you find online describing those accommodations related to ADHD - Request a prompt response in accordance with the 504 process of the district (link is important here too) -Include buzz words/ phrases and vocabulary that show you have read up , and know something about the law. Phrases like “child find” for instance 4. Don’t go to the meeting alone. Bring a support person (friend, relative, etc) to take notes, ask questions, help you remember your talking points / questions. Bonus if this person seems like they are in the know/ don’t mess around. Like a parent of another kid with a 504/ IEP who has been through the process before, or someone who is used to negotiating / advocating (lawyer or a business or government leader etc). This will help you also if you get emotional (it is your kid). There is more strength in numbers [/quote]
