One thing that the HS often forget. The student should not be required to ask for the accommodations in the 504 Plan.  They are to be given. Also, HS teachers sometimes forget that students who are under 18 are minors.  They do not have the ability to waive their rights to 504 Accommodations, but I've seen teachers pressure my child to waive their rights. As much as the teachers may want to push for student independence, etc. until they are 18, they are minors and ultimately, the parents make the decisions.

Been getting this excuse even in MS.    Forcing my kid to ask for things makes him feel singled out, plus not to mention diagnosis is ADHD so he likely will forget to ask which is the exact reason we have the plan. [/quote]

There are so many kids with accommodations that one kid is unlikely to be singled out.  If a kid refuses to use his extended time or refuses to stop talking to a student across the room, then he or she is refusing the related accommodations.  I can't make a kid use 50% more time on a writing assignment if they are refusing to do it or think two sentences meets the requirements of a three paragraph essay.[/quote]
