Subject: For your MCPS child with disabilities, how well is your school implementing IEP / 504?

Who is "we"? Your child has the 504 plan, not you. Half (or more) of the accommodations on 504s are not needed, and only written on the plan to get attention-seeking parents like yourself to shut up. Most parents who pursue 504 plans do so in order to cheat their way to extra time for their kid on the SAT, a need for attention, or both.

This is exactly the narrow minded attitude we're encountering. No, my child's IEP is not being followed at all.

Don't be jealous of parents whose kids have 504s. Trust me, they'd love to switch places with you.
+1 It’s not a cakewalk to get a 504 plan. Parents often have to come to the meeting with expensive private testing and experts before a MCPS school provides accommodations a child needs for accessing the curriculum.
MCPS fails terribly to provide a Free Appropriate Public Education to students with disabilities.
+1 It may be "easier" to get a 504 than an IEP, but getting a 504 requires evidence. Our child definitely suffered with feelings of inferiority and negativity toward school in the months it took us to figure out what was going on and get an evaluation. School saw nothing amiss. When we looked, there was tons of class "busy work" incomplete, but the teacher never looked at it, so ...

That was not our experience. Services actually increased for my son during covid.
Please enlighten us. How did services increase during a full year staff could not work with students in person?
For my child, teachers provided reports that they admitted they couldn’t even provide accommodations during online learning. Most of his accommodations required monitoring and prompting which in a classroom is easier to do than when a student is a small square on a computer screen.
Sadly, teachers are still not implementing many of the services and accommodations on his IEP. We filed a state complaint and my son is due compensatory services. Meanwhile, he hasn’t made much of any real progress towards his goals.
They added one to one support for all classes.

Interested to hear how services increased? The district owes numerous compensatory hours to special needs students exactly because they could not provide services during distance learning.

It's heartbreaking to see how nasty people are to parents who already have the weight of the world working against them

Wow. NP with no dog in this fight. PP just responded to the prompt, maybe you should work out your issues elsewhere.
