[quote=Anonymous]I would keep fighting for that IEP, OP. The big difference is that (at least in our school system), there is no case manager for 504s, and the student has to wrangle with teachers directly if there's a problem. Given your daughter has needs in several areas, I would argue that a case manager still needs to oversee her progress, and that she needs to keep the IEP.

My son switched from an IEP to a 504 in 12th grade. He could have switched before, but his IEP team knew him from middle school, liked him, and didn't want to wean him off too early. The transition to the 504 was automatic: I was sent documents by email. However, DS ended up having problems with a really quirky and rigid math teacher, and it snowballed until he nearly failed that class, because the regular counselor didn't do much either. His previous case manager would not have let it slide like this all year!

IEPs and 504s don't show up on college applications, only resource class does, since it's a formal course. So don't be worried about keeping the IEP relative to college admissions.
