[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A 504 is a civil right. It is a legal obligation on the part of all school members, once the school team (which includes the parent) has decided eligibility for the plan.

Teachers must affirmatively offer accommodations, not wait for a student to ask for them. Teachers who do not offer accommodations are "out of compliance", subjecting the school to legal liability.

Again, it's not some kind of optional benefit - it's a civil right. [/quote]

Agree 100%. Kids who need 504's often don't "look like" they need them, but it has been decided upon by MCPS psychologist, school administration and teachers and parents. To expect kids who need support to automatically able to self advocate is so frustrating![/quote]

Learning self advocacy is a skill all people need to learn. We’re explaining how this skill can be important for 504 students.[/quote]
Definitely but remembering to self advocate and ask teachers for things (missed assignments, unrecorded grades, etc) requires executive function skills that are lacking in ADHD kids.    [/quote]
