[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t think modified assignments and assessments could be written into a 504. We just asked for this in our child’s IEP and we’re told they weren’t willing to do that yet. They wanted to try extended time and “chunking” instead. I pressed about how this would work in real life. As a teacher, I know it is a disaster for reasons PPs have mentioned. Kid misses instruction of new material or the whole class has to wait for kid to finish before moving on.

This is one benefit of private over public (and I’ll be honest to say there are many cons).  It is easier for teachers to differentiate assignments and assessments without having their hands tied to IEP/504 verbiage. [/quote]

There’s some confusion about what modification means.

Typically in an IEP, modification means:
Limiting the curriculum objectives a student needs to master. (Larla is only graded on content not spelling.)
Reducing the number of items a student needs to provide to show mastery. (Larla names one civil rights leader rather than three.)
increasing the methods a student can use to show mastery. (Larla completes a sentence frame instead of writing a paragraph with a topic sentence and conclusion.)

504 plans are not supposed to do this, but ES counselors either were sloppy or under parent pressure and included some of these modifications anyway.[/quote]
