Enabling/School - just thoughts

[Guest guest]

Interesting topic, lots of varied thoughts on this. But seems to me

any time we have an IEP or 504 Plan or other type accommodations for

our kids, we are accommodating/enabling OCD. Why else have one?

You might state objectives in the Plan but they are worked on over

time, in steps. So there's still accommodation/modification as

opposed to none/no enabling.

Any time you have a " safe person or place " for the child to go to, or

is allowed to get up and leave the room when feeling anxious or they

can turn in late work or take extra time for tests...all that is

enabling but something to be worked on during the school year, even

the next year if still affecting you at school.

Just seems to me the cafeteria accommodation falls into the same

category.

OK, bedtime for me. Lots of views on this. Interesting to read!
