[quote=Anonymous]A 504 doesn't provide accommodations. It's purpose was to prevent discrimination, so for example, if your dd had a diagnosis of selective mutism and didn't answer verbally in class she wouldn't be penalized for not participating in class if she had a 504. An IEP would provide accommodations like to provide tests would be in written format not oral quizzes. (I'm not saying she has selective mutism, that's just to illustrate a point.) OP, I would start the IEP process if she's having this much difficulty. I would also consider getting a neuropsych evaluation. This will be an investment, but at least you'll understand the causes. Is it anxiety, does she have inattentive ADHD? She might personally benefit from individual therapy, a social skills group, etc. It's okay to be introverted, but if it's getting in the way of her functioning at school she needs strategies she can use and official accommodations in school.[/quote]
