[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child also has dyslexia and adhd. We are currently trying to get her a 504, but the special ed department said that poor handwriting (it's completely illegible) does not qualify her for any special instruction. I don't know why Montgomery County is deemed as such a great system for kids with disabilities. I think it's awful! It's kids like ours who fall through the cracks and they just turn their backs.[/quote] Special Instruction = Special Ed Services = You should ask for an IEP. A 504 plan just gives access to accommodations. The special ed department is correct that poor handwriting does not qualify for any special instruction, but a diagnosis of dysgraphia, dyslexia, or other health impairment (ADHD) along with an educational impact does. You need to ask for an IEP meeting in writing (send to the Principal) and bring documentations of any professional diagnosis and difficulties your child is having in school.[/quote]
