[quote=Anonymous]School counselor again.  This does not need to be adversarial.  Your child also does not need to fail first. Call the counselor to schedule a meeting with all of your students' teachers.  Everyone can come up with informal strategies together.  They may include preferential seating, checking a plan book, having the child restate directions, having someone help him organize his binder, or putting him in a study hall period.  Or any number of other strategies. If those strategies help, that bolsters the argument toward developing a 504 plan.  At the same time, help your child at home with study routine and organization.  The school won't solve all the issues, plan or no plan.  Your child might also need medication or tutoring or a lot of your help at home.  Plenty of students still struggle with a 504--it is not a magical transformation.  Taking the time to gather research on what accommodations actually help mean you ultimately will have a better 504 for your child.  These years are good trial and error times before high school.  There is no need to rush toward a plan if you are trying out various strategies in the meantime. I hope that helps.[/quote]
