[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is a 504 enough? Is an IEP needed?[/quote] I think the question is whether a IEP would help. Do they have a way to adapt the curriculum for him that would be helpful? In general they might drop him to lower level classes but they don’t offer a curriculum that truly meets the needs of kids with dyslexia and discalculia. They won’t fully remediate, they won’t offer a different type of teaching that would be more effective. So it may be that a robust 504 gets what you most need - things like fewer questions, more time, a scribe, etc. The challenge is that you still need your kid to learn math and learn to write essays, so you will probably (unfairly, unjustly) need to find and pay for outside help.[/quote]
