[quote=Anonymous][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]

So, if it was easy for you, it is easy for everyone at every school?  [/quote]

NP.  It is easy at our school too.  what usually happens is that the school and teachers are the first ones who notice if there is an issue and tell the parents.  Everyone I know at our school who has an IEP/504 got one this way.  The school does not fight bc they are the ones that start the ball rolling.  But we are at a DCI feeder where kids can stay from preschool until they graduate from hs.[/quote]
