[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with a PP- it can be HARD to get accommodations even with a documented disability, recommendations made from the neuropsych, and teacher report.  You have to be able to show an educational impact and for 2e kids who are able to hit proficiency by being able to compensate for the disability are often seen as not needing accommodations even as their confidence lowers and they are not learning anything.

The idea that you just walk in with a diagnosis and get accommodations is completely false![/quote]

Well we did not have to fight at all.  If you have to fight, then it not must be legitimate.  We have an ADHD diagnosis along with slow processing speed.  Never had an issue at all.[/quote]

I know it is possible to get lucky because after years of fighting on behalf of my child we changed schools and I was stunned that the new counselor took one look at the 504 and said it was not sufficient. Very soon after we had a successful 504 meeting. BUT that's unusual.  My younger child's case required the hiring of an advocate, multiple outside evals and a neuropsych's presence to get the ball rolling. And we have friends who had to transfer to private because their child was a very gifted student and the school claimed that her ADHD had no educational impact. [/quote]
