[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD went to WL with Inattentive ADHD. She had a 504 and accommodations included preferred seating, extra time and quiet room for tests, extra time for assignments. That was not unlimited but a certain number of days. Extra time is really a double -edged sword since it can just let them get deeper into a whole. She also wore noise cancelling headphones all the time but it wasn't written into the 504. We paid for external executive function support. You won't get an IEP or school-provided executive function coaching.

Her grades did go down in HS and it was a constant battle. She did always manage to pull up to a B by the end of the year even if some quarters had some Cs and once a D. For college she chose a small, quiet LAC that provides her a weekly EF coach.

I didn't know how big O'Connell is but it might be worth considering if it's not as big and loud as WL.[/quote]

All our neighbors love WL, and say with the tracking “colleges” it feels like a much smaller school. Out DD wants to do IB and her teachers say she has the potential smarts if she can just stay more organized.

There are really no supports at school? An external coach is okay, but we wanted an integrated approach and someone who knew her teachers. So students on IEPs do get coaching but not 504?  But that only happens with poor grades? It feels short sighted to wait to give help until they have already fallen behind rather than keeping them moving forward?[/quote]
