[quote=Anonymous]My now-20 y.o had a 504 for a different medical condition, beginning in 4th grade (that year he missed 40 days of school). He kept it until he graduated, although he no longer needed accommodations after 9th grade. It was a huge help. Among his accommodations: extra time to make up work, ability to go to the nurse whenever he needed to, relief from class participation requirements on days he didn't feel good (this allowed him to just sit quietly and listen when he needed to and not have to contribute to class discussions or participate in gym class bad days), and the ability for teachers to waive assignments if he had already demonstrated mastery. This gave him a break on homework sometimes.

It was a very hard time in his life, and the 504 made it a easier. It had no detrimental effects that I could see. Colleges were not told about his 504, but he wrote his essay on having a chronic illness, so they knew about it anyway. (He has not needed accommodations college.)[/quote]
