[quote=Anonymous]Thanks-I am super familiar with IEPs and 504s.  My daughter has both, I've been to 60 IEP meetings since she was 7 :)

However, in previous school system where we moved from, the IEP teams have never been able to come up with accomodations which actually addressed the missing curriculum aspect and havent ever been able to think up ways to keep her up with her classmates.  For example, if she misses school for 2 days, sending home "notes" does not help when she misses a 90 minute lecture for 2 days-she just cannot learn from some abbreviated notes, it cant replace the lecture. Thats why she wound up in online classes last year--they ran out of ideas and so havng her pulled entirely from school was the only thing anyone could think of.  Great idea academically-awful idea emotionally.  With a kid who is already dealing with an illness, the last thing they should also have to deal with is being pulled from school, a place of friends, and normalcy.

Now we are here in VA, new school district and thats what I am asking-whether anyone has an IEP/504 that has accomodations for a chronically ill high schooler which addresses this problem. Im interested in any ideas to bring to an IEP meeting to get her back in school where she belongs, but provide her support to help her when she misses classes.

Thanks to anyone who might have an IEP or 504 that works....would help to know what types of accomodations/services you have that help make your student able to attend school

Thanks![/quote]
