Question for everyone who has gone through this: Is the 504 plan something that is reviewed and updated every year that the child is in the district? Or is it one of those things where…you better think of every possible accommodation from K to 5th grade in one fell swoop? NOTE: I realize that some of the items below are not going to be relevant in K, 1st or 2nd, but around 3rd, 4th and 5th grades, they begin having more obligations regarding testing, homework, etc., so this is why they are included in the 504 plan for Liam…so that they are there whenever he enters those grades and has those accommodations. So, I’ll just list these in number bullet style format and I welcome anyone to add additional comments that I’ll add to this list and perhaps when it’s all done, we can make it a Wiki. Most of these are taken from Chris/Michels 504 plans, but I’m interested in those who have “been there, done that” to add more to this list so that we can hopefully come up with an all-inclusive list of accommodations that we can bring to the table and work on negotiating for our children. I thought this would be a great place to begin listing some of the accommodations so that other parents in similar circumstances can benefit from these as well. I told myself that on his 5th birthday, I’d begin perusing the 504 materials that Michel and Chris provided and come up with a solid list of “specific accommodations” that I know I will need to bring to the table whenever we have our March meeting with the school district regarding Liam’s 504 plan.
