[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a stretch OP. 504s are not intended to just make everything easier for all kids. [/quote]

DP.  Not a stretch.  OP's kid is not "all kids".  Things get harder each year.  If he qualifies for extra time or any other accommodations, they should be granted to him.  The extra work these kids put in when they have ADHD is exhausting for them.  [/quote]

+100. You do not want to wait until he’s failing before getting the accommodations. [/quote]

Plus, there is also a principle in 504 and IEP law that dictates that the assessment and design of accommodations must be done on how the student performs in the "unmitigated state," meaning as if the student was not taking meds, doing therapy, using an executive function coach or tutor or getting accommodations in the classroom".  The reason this is so is that there are many times when students no longer have access to some of the mitigating factors or the medication stops working or the disease has a worsening phase or the stressors on the student increase and overwhelm their normal compensation mechanisms.
