[quote=Anonymous]1. I need to send the report to the school. Do I send any kind of specific message with it, or do I just say I'm requesting a 504 Plan?

There are form letters online that you can use. Is there any reason to think you need an IEP? Schools tend to take those meetings more seriously. Can you combine an IEP and 504 meeting?

2. I understand there will be a meeting between me and the school. What should I expect? Any tips for negotiating?

They may have tons of people from their side so you should bring someone with you even if it's a friend if your DH can't make it. Do not go in alone. They may argue your child is "on grade level" if he or she is on grade level and say that there is no impact as a result. Do not back down if this happens. Bring test scores, work samples.

This happened to us our first meeting and we left with nothing because I was so shocked. The teacher had brought up the issues and we had a neuropsych eval with very clear diagnoses that pointed to learning issues but the principal and SN coordinator did not think anything was necessary.

3. How do I monitor the accommodations process to ensure it's working? 
I would pay someone, maybe whoever did your neuropsych, to do an observation. In our case, the school really did very little in the 504 plan.[/quote]
