[quote=Anonymous]So I posted last year… we moved from CA last May. I have one kid with adhd (just finished 2nd grade) and one kid with anxiety, gifted and slow processing speed (just finished 4th grade). 2nd grader had a 504, 4th grader did not they refused. I had assessments in CA recommending accommodations (we were coming from private school) which included breaks and additional testing time.

What can I do for 5th grade to get my older child some sort of accommodations. Do I need to hire someone to attend the meeting with me? I did ask that we have a follow-up from their original meeting with me last September. They basically said she didn’t meet any of the criteria. Even though she is a mess when she gets home every day.. She screams and cries over all the issues of the day, the fact she is yelled at by kids and teacher in the classroom (she is hyper sensitive so she perceives frustrated tones as yelling); is unable to finish her math work in the class before kids are yelling out answers, in the cope testing she ran out of time to finish some of the math testing - she is gifted but her processing speed is in the 30% so everything takes her a LONG time. During quiet time she would pace and get chastised by classmates - pacing is one of her coping mechanisms for keeping calm.

Thanks for any guidance!
