[quote=Anonymous][quote]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]

Thing about 504 plans is that you get accommodations when they are needed - like for testing or extra time for homework/assignments.  So, you could send someone to observe, but if it's a day where no accommodations would be needed, then you aren't going to see anything.  Also, if the accommodation is extra time, often it is given on a later day after the assignment/test is reviewed to see if extra time is needed.

I monitor through talking with my son, reviewing Edline and, when I have questions, talking with the special education team and teachers.  I look at outcomes - if my son got the grade I expect based on his abilities.  I haven't had a negative experience with special ed in MCPS, so I don't come to this process with a mistrustful attitude.  What I find is that everyone is invested in my son's success and they really to work hard for him.
