[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a meeting set with our DCPS about trying to get a 504 for our ADHD kid. Kid was diagnosed after long evaluation that included teacher forms. The teacher now appears to be backing away from some of the things she wrote on the form and we are trying to figure out if she is trying to get out of more work or what. But we expect (perhaps we are unjustifiably skeptical) this to be a difficult conversation with a lot of pushback from the school. Our psychologist is doing a lot of play therapy to address some of the areas of difficulty that she sees and she believes our kid should have a 504 in place for next year (1st grade) when things get more intense and in place by the start of the year in an effort to give our kid confidence and a better start to the year.

any advice on how to prepare for the 504 meeting, how to respectfully advocate for our kid, and also maybe ideas on what to include in the 504? Kid was diagnosed ADHD, combined. [/quote]

I basically wrote the draft plan for the school officials, based on recommendations in the neuropsych report, and discussed at the meeting.  They formalized it with a few other recommendations we agreed upon.  I suggest, since you know your child and are familiar with recommendations from the psychologist, and they don't, use the report to guide the school in developing the best plan.  They actually appreciated the guidance.[/quote]
