[quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks everyone.  I have a feeling that a 504 plan may be where we end up.  This week's meeting is the child study meeting.  Basically the one to see if our issues are significant enough to merit the school psychologist and SpEd teacher doing any testing.  The SpEd teacher and Vice Principal have done some in class observations, but they haven't done the full work up that happens when you decide to proceed.

Does anyone know if, in order to get a 504 plan, you need to go through with those evaluations?  I would guess yes, but I don't know.  What I'd really like, outcome wise this week, is to say "hey, something is going on here that's not right, I want you to do a more thorough analysis, then we'll figure out what, if any, accomodations or services he mgiht need."

Does that seem like a reasonable approach?  Suggestions?

For my other child it was so obvious that there was a learning problem that these first steps were almost pro forma.

Thanks also for the pill swallowing ideas - we've tried pills in yogurt, applesauce and ice cream.  We've practiced with tic tacs and nerds.  I bought some fancy (waste of money) pill swallowing cup, some kind of throat spray called "pill glide" that basically sounded like lube for yout throat and some super wide straws that were supposed to help by getting a bigger gulp of water to push the pill in and back.  Nothing works.  The problem is that he knws it's there so he stops himself from naturally swallowing it and feels for it, then once he's done that he can't swallow it.  I'm hoping that when he's just a little bigger if we try again it will be easier.[/quote]
