[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An IEP is more appropriate in this case -- because essentially the curriculum will need to be modified to ensure less homework, shorter assignments etc. A 504 will probably be insufficient to provide the protections this kid needs -- especially in MS/HS with all the different teachers, moving between classrooms, etc. The parents will want the protections of an IEP to ensure ALL teachers understand the need and requirement to comply.[/quote] OP here, that's my thinking that he'll need an IEP. One thing that will make the process easier is that kid's disability is very visible, and his diagnosis is very clear. So it's not quite the same as a kid with an invisible disability where a teacher might try to deny the need, or ignore it, or the district might fight the original eligibility. I guess my question is about where the line is between modification and accommodation on graded work, and what people have seen different districts allow. [/quote]
