[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would also immediately request an IEP meeting to get her a 504.  If you don't have the plan, you don't have a basis for them to address her LDs or accommodate her.

Bright kids need support too, and she can't be denied a 504 because she's bright.  Maybe the only accommodation she would need is a different kind of test instructions.  But I don't think you are doing her any favors by not getting her a 504.

There's no shame in having one and schools are good about students' privacy.

If you are in MCPS, the person to talk to is Marissa Stemple, and also maybe call your community superintendent.[/quote]

That is the problem. She is too bright for a 504. She is not GT. This makes me so mad. [/quote]

I think you have been misinformed.  There is no "too bright for a 504."  Some schools may push back, saying she's working at or above grade level and therefore doesn't qualify, but that is not what the law says.  You may need to hire an educational consultant to help you out with this -- a worthwhile investment if you can do it.    If you have documentation of her disability, go in with that.  If not, request testing but be aware that schools don't always provide the best testing and if you can bring your own, from an outside source that you know they accept, that may be best.  You can get some recommendations here if you post your general location/school system.[/quote]
