504 PLAN help

[Guest guest]

Hi, all,

I need advice and wisdom.......I started pursuing a 504 plan for my daughter

mostly because I read here how it helped the kids. Monday, my and my DH have a

meeting at the school with the teachers, counselor, and principal about it. I

have a list of possible accommodations our therapist gave us to work with and I

plan to take that.

I'd love to hear from everyone and anyone whose child has one, what the benefits

and drawbacks if any and what this meeting might entail.

What else should I take? What do I expect out of this? What if she or the

teachers don't really think she needs extra help right now (she still makes A's

and B's)? Will having " accommodations " single her out, make other kids jealous,

get her picked on more, cause her to think she can take it " easy " ? This is

entirely new ground for us, so any help or advice or experiences would be great.

Also, is there anything I can print (articles, web links, etc.) and bring to the

meetings that helps teachers learn to work with kids with OCD?

Thanks!

Debbie
