[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP again - I also wanted to ask if people thought the 504 plan was worth it. A lot of the recommendations are already being addressed in the EMT process.  However, I know that 504 is more formalized.[/quote]

PP here.  I think it depends on a lot of factors.  With my oldest, I didn't need a 504 to get things done.  And, he didn't fall through the cracks because he was struggling so much.  So, I didn't do it until HS, when we got the IEP.  OTOH, for my middle son, he does extremely well in school and it is easy for people to forget that he has disabilities and needs his accommodations.  I find that a formalized plan gives me a reason and opportunity to communicate regularly and it does keep him in thr forefront of their minds.  Also, by having a formal plan, it gives you a starting point to teach your child to advocate for himself or herself - though given that your child is in ES, that might not be on your agenda yet.  There is only one thing that I think I have in my son's plan that he might not otherwise get if he didn't have the 504.  [/quote]
