[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP- My DS CAN attend school safely and does not need to be homeschooled.  Unlike many parents with children having far fewer allergies than my DS, I do not require a whole school to be peanut free, or try to restrict bday parties to no cupcakes or pizza just because my DS can not participate in those events.

DCs who are allergic to all foods typically drink formula or have a G-tube to inject formula into it.  There are many children with my DSs condition.[/quote]

OP, as a parent of a child with a 504 for severe allergies, although far less severe than yours, I think you're going to need to articulate pretty clearly what you think your child needs.  What are some services and accommodations that you think would make it safe for him to participate.  Maybe think outside the box and describe your "ideal" and then let people problem solve backwards from there.

For example, would he be safer in a classroom with desks instead of tables so he can get some separation?

Would he be safer if he sat on the end of a row, with a child who didn't own any pets (perhaps a child with a milder allergy) between him and the next kid to act as a buffer?

Would he be safer if the school allowed you to specify the cleaning supplies used in his classroom?

Would it help if all kids washed their hands before entering the room?

Knowing what kinds of things work might help us figure out which schools have shown themselves to be flexible in that way.[/quote]
