[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DCPS elementary school told us 30 days and set a meeting for 22 days from our request. We requested a 504, came in with ideas for the 504 and it was granted, effective the next day. We were thrilled, especially because it stopped a less-than-desirable response by the teacher to our DC. It's a small school though so fewer kids to deal with for the administration.[/quote]

Wow!  Did they tell you that was DCPS policy, the 30 days?  I have a list of fairly basic requests so I am hoping that we will have a similar response. [/quote]

PP here - I'm sorry, it was more than a year ago and I can't remember if they said it was our school or DCPS policy. Having a list will definitely help you frame and focus the conversation. There's a lot of 504 self-help type websites to give you ideas. DH and I did a bunch of research and came up with 20 ideas. Then we thought more about our DC and scaled it back to 8 that we thought would be the most helpful-- small things like preferential seating, time to walk around the classroom if the body can't be still, chunking directions (giving them in 2 steps instead of laying out 4 steps DC would have to do complete a project...), etc. School accepted all 8 and added a 9th that we never would have thought of. Good luck![/quote]
