[quote=Anonymous]We hold twice a year reviews of my son’s 504. The teachers provide input about what works and what doesn’t work. For my ADHD-I kid, 1) he’s on Concerta, 2) he gets preferential seating (typical close to a teacher so they can remind him to pay attention), 3) extended time for assignments and testing (think 15 days to turn in work vs the 10 in the policy, though I’ve asked both of my kids with extended time to not abuse that one), and 4) movement breaks (because sometimes he needs to be able to fidget a bit outside of his chair, even though he’s not hyperactive). I’m very comfortable approaching teachers and counselors. The middle school transition has been mostly seamless (though they forgot to pull him for MAP). This is what is working today. It may not work in the future, but having good relationships at the school helps when we need to change things up. [/quote]
