[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't be "too bright" for a 504.

My son has a 504 for dysgraphia and he scored in the 98% nationally for the ACT.

Your child needs to be able to work to the best of her potential- not at the 50th percentile.

Request a meeting with her counselor to sort this out.[/quote]

That is a GT level core. [b]GT kids are protected by law[/b] 80% kids are not.[/quote]

Where are "GT kids protected by law"? Are you referring to state mandated GT education provisions? That has nothing to do with a 504 plan.

[quote]Section 504 is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities. Section 504 ensures that the child with a disability has equal access to an education. The child may receive accommodations and modifications.

Unlike the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Section 504 does not require the school to provide an individualized educational program (IEP) that is designed to meet the child's unique needs and provides the child with educational benefit. Under Section 504, fewer procedural safeguards are available to children with disabilities and their parents than under IDEA.

On September 25, 2008, the President signed the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008 (ADA AA). The Act, effective January 1, 2009, emphasizes that the definition of disability should be construed in favor of broad coverage of individuals to the maximum extent permitted by the terms of the ADA.

ADA AA Changes Apply to Section 504. Section 504 was amended so that it now incorporates the ADA AA by reference and applies to public school students under Section 504.[/quote][/quote]
