[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is another side to this.  I am a teacher and in my first year, the IEP person at my school was new too.  She didn't give the teachers copies of IEPs/504s from new and incoming students  So for many months, I have no idea that 3 or 4 kids in my class had an IEP/504 at all.  During the first parent/teacher conference, one parent mentioned it and that is when I went straight to admin about it.  Does every teacher your child has know about the 504?  If so, what are the accommodations specifically?  Preferential seating doesn't always mean sitting in the front.  One of my students sits on the end of a row away from the door.  Honestly, some of the accommodations are crazy IMO.  One year, I had quite a few students who were to have every assessment read verbatim to them which was fine if they were all at school on the day of the test.  When they weren't, it took days and days to catch them up while the other students did independent work.  I don't really think some people realize that the accommodations, while important for their child, impact the rest of the students too.  If I were you, I would ask to meet with the teacher and an administrator to figure out what the problem is.[/quote]

I always send a copy of the most recent IEP and DC's most recent evaluation to his teachers at the beginning of the year.  In Middle School we have an IEP meeting the first week of school to "get to know you".  My son has a reader and a scribe for every assessment because he has profound dyslexia and dysgraphia.  I am sorry if his need to access the curriculum creates problems for you.  :roll:   DC has had relucant teachers like you every year and by the end of the year they understand the need for them. The IEP means that more resources are given to your school so that you can do the accommodations.  You need to ask your administration for extra help.
