[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does 504 plan helps with the calculus AB? If she needs lots for work at home for pre-calc, she will need that time and more for calc. It's not about assignements or projects (which can be accommodated). More time on tests or notes wouldn't help. [/quote]

the assumption is by next year, she will be out of the crisis and will have the time to study.  The issue with the current situation is that on tues - thurs, she is not getting home until 8 PM.  And she is usually too emotional then to focus.  She grasps the material/understands the concepts, but the lack of practice is leading to simple arithmetic errors.[/quote]
Is school pressure one of the causes for the crisis? Calc is infinitely harder than pre-calc if you have to study a lot for pre-calc. If your daughter truly requires intense therapy and your family group therapy, do you honestly believe that in 6 months she will be able to handle the pressure of honor classes and tests and whatever else that causes her problems.

We are not really sure the source of the problems.  There is social anxiety.  School work only contributes in that sometimes she gets anxious before a test.  But, when I talk to DD, she does not feel like the school work is a problem.  The problem is, while she is getting treated, she can not spend the requisite amount of time on school.  I also talked to her, and found out that she talked to her math teacher, and he said that she could have the same issues next year, and can not recommend her for anything more. She gives me an example on a recent test, though...the kid sitting next to her was shaking is hit, which was distracting her (we are getting an evaluation to see if the anxiety/depressing is related to other things, as she is very sensitive to noise/ can not work at home unless it is 100% quiet).  With the distraction, she did not bother to 1) check her work, or 2) do the extra credit, as she just wanted to get out of there.

As PP suggested, you can mitigate the noise, hopefully, with the special accommodation. I would suggest exploring nearby community colleges for Calculus 1 or summer online Calculus courses to eliminate the pressure. Good luck, I hope she gets better. My friend's kid is going to a community college because of the anxiety issues, he is a smart kid with good grades, but the social aspect of a regular college wouldn't work. Focusing on getting better is the first priority. He started the year with a collection of AP and honor classes in the 11th grade, but it was quickly reworked into more manageable schedule as the stress started to pile up and the cutting resumed.
