OP - You sound like a very competent, caring and intuitive teacher.  Probably as a rule when such requests are made, you might just share with the requesting parent that you prefer that while a requested seating arrangement might be possible in a class, that as a rule you do not have the same seating/partner chart for all classes or for the entire year.  In the case you mention, it does sound as if the 504 may not be enough, and is it possible that you could in your role as the teacher request a meeting with the parents of the SN child and simply keep it on focus of what you have observed in the first quarter and the student's performance or level of needs which have risen.  So based on that you are moving the student to the front of the room or wherever so that redirection on your part might be a bit easier, but also, however, one does it also share you are not certain that this will be enough.

And for any student in elementary or middle school in terms of the social piece, it would be a much better approach that trying to pair off two students to try and develop a "lunch buddies" idea among a few student - easier to do for a new student or a newly included student since usually if set up at the start of a new year or placement,many students just then naturally find others whom they like to mix with.  For this particular girl, the idea of having the guidance counselor involved is key and maybe the best conduit to speak with the parents about the social skills group, too.  You are the educator and need to focus on the learning academic environment and what this student with SN needs to be successful as well as what the other student needs to do so, too.[/quote]
