[quote=Anonymous]OP here. I wanted to share an update as I think it may be helpful to others.

Quick recap: We were meeting with the school for the first time to discuss a 504 for DS. School ends in two weeks and DS starts 6th grade in a new school, same district. Just got the neuropsych findings a few weeks back, but not the final report.

The 504 meeting was productive. In one hour, the administrator, two teachers, DH, and I crafted a 504. With the ADHD diagnosis, the school agreed that a 504 was warranted, no discussion needed. We brainstormed, discussing DS's needs, and added to the 504 as appropriate. We got no pushback on anything. After one hour of work, we have a 504 that we can take to middle school. We're waiting for the final neuropsych report and then will request a meeting with the middle school with report and the 504. As I'm new to all this, I don't know how unusual it is for the process to go so swimmingly. We were going to be happy with a letter from the school documenting the accommodations. This is better.

[b]The lesson learned: It can be productive to request a 504 when your about to transition to a different school for two reasons: (1) The teachers know your child and their needs; and (2) The teachers won't have to implement anything as your child is about to move to a different school, meaning they may be more flexible about adding accommodations.[/b][/quote]
