Guest guest Posted September 30, 2000 Report Share Posted September 30, 2000 Peggy Kaye, I would most definitely have a 504 plan in place! My son is currently on homebound instruction (the school system provides this) and he has a teacher come to our home twice weekly. It was listed as an accomodation in his 504 plan and is now part of his IEP that all state and standardized tests be given one on one with extra directions, writing directly on test booklets, and anything else that is legal but produces less stress...and these accomodations will also be in place when he is able to return to school. During his evaluation by the school, the school psychologist did not follow instructions provided by my son's therapist, and they are repeating this part of the test this year because we feel that we didn't get a true picture of my son's ability. Good luck and keep us all posted. mary from La. Message: 5 Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2000 07:57:16 EDT From: mom2tazbug@... Subject: Re: gifted Hey ... got a question ... has been homeschooled up until this year. (snipped) .... he worried through the whole test. The teacher said he asked every two minutes how much time he had left. Test scores come out ... he tested in the 17%ile! This is a kid who read Jurassic Park in the second grade folks! They don't believe the test obviously or they'd be testing him for special ed. But I'm not sure what to do at this point. We had planned on leaving his OCD out of it ... thinking we could ... but obviously we can't. Should I be asking for a 504 for him? Peggikaye ...
