[quote=Anonymous]Our DS will be entering 9th at a private, coming from public and has maintained a 504 plan due to ADHD and Anxiety.

The only accommodation he uses infrequently is one that allows him extra time to complete makeup work when he misses school due to a doctors appointment. It reduces his anxiety since he is a perfectionist and stresses out over missing assignments and missed lectures. He does not use extended time during tests or have any other accommodations that we would consider continuing.

During admissions we had a brief conversation about 504's etc and we were told that in order to continue any accommodations we would need to get a neuropsych eval. Admission was not contingent on any eval. In terms of focus and executive function, he's more than fine as long as we have access to medication. We did experience stress/ lack of focus due to medication shortages this fall, but it did not effect grades.

I'm just not sure that he needs any accommodations in a private setting. What are accommodations like in a private setting? Anyone else BTDT?
