Re: response to post on 504 plan in us schools

DEAR ALL

JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT IN THE UK EDUCATION SYSTEM THEY HAVE WHAT IS CALLED A

RECORD OF NEEDS. THE CHILD IS ASSESSED BEFORE GOING TO SCHOOL OR EVEN AFTER

STARTING TO SEE IF THEY WILL BE ABLE TO COPE WITH THE EVERYDAY REGIME OF SCHOOL

LIFE EG; STAIRS, CLASS SIZES, SAFETY, AND LOTS OF OTHER POINTS. ONCE THE RECORD

OF NEEDS IS OPENED THE SCHOOL HAS THEN TO MEET THE CHILDS NEEDS AND YOU HAVE A

MEETING ONCE A YEAR TO SEE IF THEY HAVE BEEN. IF NOT THEY WILL BE TAKEN TO TASK

AS TO WHY NOT AND THINGS WILL BE PUT IN PLACE TO DO SO.THIS IN MY OPINION IS A

VERY GOOD WAY TO KEEP ON TOP OF SCHOOLS WHO ARE NOT REALLY INTERESTED IN OUR

CHILDREN.

TAKE CARE GOD BLESS IRIS
