[quote=Anonymous][quote]I am a PP who happens to think that based on OP's post there is no way she can know if the 504 was followed. She is confusing accommodations with outcomes. Hopefully accommodations lead to outcomes, but lack of outcomes does not mean that the accommodation was not implemented. It could also mean the accommodation was not successful.

But, I digress. Other than pointing out that preferential seating doesn't always mean being by the teacher, I found your post self serving and defensive. Teachers should inquire about things like IEPs and 504s and in my experience do. No excuse for not knowing for months. And, while accommodations can be "crazy" to implement if you aren't versatile and experienced, that doesn't make the accommodations themselves crazy. I am a long time special needs parent who has gone through elementary and middle school with a combination of IEP and 504s and I have not yet encountered the teacher or school staff member who was not interested and helpful when it came to providing and following the plans. (County staff are a different experience but they don't have the power that the school has, so they are less of a problem). In fact, the high school where my oldest will be going already met with me to get my input on accommodations for next year and they are already in place.

I guess I felt compelled to respond because you seem to be finding excuses and I neither have experienced teachers who have accepted the lack of information, as you did, and/or who made excuses like it justifies lack of compliance. And, I haven't yet encountered the teacher who accommodated the plans at the detriment to other students. Maybe I'm lucky, but with three kids in school, I think it's more likely that most teachers are pretty caring and competent. [/quote]
