[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a special ed teacher. This is a frequent occurrence once a student no longer requires specialized instruction but still needs accommodations. The team at my school is the same except a special ed teacher isn’t needed for the 504 creation. We just roll from the eligibility for the iep into the 504 one at the same meeting.[/quote]

I think from the school side, there is an art to
doing this.  You are an equal IEP team member and the IEP team decision cannot be made before the IEP meeting without your input (even though the team may meet to discuss prior to you). If you object to ending the IEP, you have safe harbor rights and the IEP must be kept in place for a period of time for you to go through due process.  So, some times (and parents) might feel like they really have no choice if the team rolls right into a 504 meeting.

The "art" part on the school side is giving you a chance to input and providing a clear indication that the 504 meeting will happen quickly maybe even right after the IEP meeting without making you feel railroaded.

Like others, I would want to first pare down to limited goals /objectives for a year to make sure adequate progress at or above grade level is made before giving up IEP.
