[quote=Anonymous]You know, that's sort of an interesting train of thought.  Because he has a physical disability, he should be held to a different standard?  That's not what a 504 or IEP is about.  The 504 and IEP are about accessing the curriculum and performing as well as they can given the disabilities, not about giving them a different curriculum or lower standard.  Kids with intellectual disabilities, cognitive disabilities or other impairments who are in the diploma track don't get held to a lower or different standard.  They just get the services and accommodations they need to access the curriculum and be accurately assessed in their progress.  I don't know why kids with a physical disability should be held to a different standard.  I'm not at all sure where your physician is coming from.  But, I do think that PP is correct in that unless a kid is truly exceptional in the athletics department, most of what is measured is participation.  Your child might need accommodations for that.
