[quote=Anonymous]I would google and do a little reading to get yourself up to speed on these issues so you can best advocate for your daughter.

A 504 is for kids who have LDs or other issues that require accommodations (such as teachers reading the test instructions to your DD) but don't require extra supports like classroom aids, special ed teachers, etc.

You can request an Educational Management Team (EMT) meeting right now, and you should.   Say that you ask that the peer review be put on hold until after the EMT meeting, at a minimum.  Consider getting an educational consultant to help look at your daughter's evaluation.  If she had an IEP before, it should be easier to say that the issues are still affecting her and you request a 504 with accommodations -- an ed consultant can help you figure out which ones will help your DD and are most likely to be included in the 504.

Kids get 504s for things like ADHD, anxiety, dyslexia, etc.  Your DD's accommodations might include teacher monitoring of tests to make sure she's following instructions, teacher reading of test instructions to DD, etc.  If you tell us what her LD is, we might be able to tell you what accommodations have worked for our kids if they have similar diagnoses.
