[quote=Anonymous]- Seating accommodations - least distracting for your child.  May or may not be front depending on where the distractions are in the classroom.
- teacher's notes
- extra time for tests
- quiet location for tests
- extra time for assignments 
- teacher signing planner - but it will be up to your daughter to ask the teacher to check it
- assignments written on the board - this is probably already done
- "college prep" class - like the Resource class described by a PP, but for kids with 504 and kids with no special ed designation, but need help
- study guides for tests
- writing diagrams
- use of computers to type tests

Many of this is already available if she asks for it, including teacher's notes, study guides, writing diagrams, signing planner, assignments written on the board.  The rest requires a 504, but honestly, it's going to mean that the school and her peers will know she has some type of special needs.

Also, I've seen people mention water breaks.  I will say that IME this is really discouraged in IEP/504 meetings after ES, but if it's needed you can press for it.

Finally, if she actually needs services as opposed to accommodations only, you can try for an IEP.  But, in HS, you don't really get all that much more.  The biggest thing is a case manager that has a small case load as compared to a case manager with a high case load.
