[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP. I’m a special education teacher and a mom of a student with 504 for adhd and anxiety. I had an awful experience at WMS. The team did not want ti give my daughter pretty much any accommodation for her anxiety such as small group testing or extra time. They said since she got good grades she didn’t need it even though I know legally that’s not the bar for a 504. I cried at the meeting and I’m a fellow teacher in APS! It was ridiculous. Fortunately we met at the start of high school with the team there and they were like of course she should have what she needs. If she’s already getting an A but about to have a breakdown because of the overstimulating environment it still has an impact.

OP, wherever you go, in the 2nd half of 5th grade you will meet with a special education representative from the middle school to review your iep and accommodations and make sure they work for middle school. This is where you need to be prepared to stand up for the needed accommodations to remain. [/quote]
