[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here dx are dyspraxia and dyslexia; goals have been in main academics but the real issue was executive functioning and self-regulation. A boon in maturity has led to better cooperation, personal responsibility, etc.
One of the reason we kept the academic goals was that it allowed for small group pull-outs, and that time gave him a bit of a sensory break. [/quote]

Secondary teacher:

So if you are worried about emotional/sensory regulation, you can build that into the 504.  Things like "flash pass to counselor" would allow them to pop into the counselor's office to chill at any point, or "ability to step outside for 5 minutes when feeling overwhelmed" would let them head to the bathroom or to get water.  Neither of those are specialized instruction, just accommodations.  I've had students have things like "leave class 2 minutes early" to avoid the chaos of the hallways or "alternative location for lunch" if the cafeteria is too much.  All of those are 504 level accommodations.

If you want an IEP, it will need some sort of specialized instruction.  Do you want him in small group classes in middle school?  Does he need an elective spent on building executive functioning skills?[/quote]
