[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You will only get an IEP if specialized instruction is warranted. A reduced workload can be an accommodation or a modification. It would be a 504 accommodation if the standard that the student is working towards is the same. If the standards are altered, it is then a modification and would only be available with an IEP. If the student is able to demonstrate above grade level understanding while completing less work, it sounds like an accommodation through a 504 plan is acceptable since he is meeting the grade level standard or greater.[/quote]

OP here, I think that he is going to need to use a fair amount of technology to be able to participate in middle school and high school, and he's going to need instruction in order to use it.  Is that specialized instruction?

I also think that the line on when changes to workload become modifications rather than accommodations is blurry.  Skipping some homework assignments, or some math problems on a homework assignment -- that's clearly accommodation.  Being allowed to turn in a major paper that's 2 pages instead of 5, or an outline instead of a paper, -- that's less clear to me.  And he needs the latter and not just the former.
