I need 504 plan help asap
Hello,
my 6 year old daughter has Tourette Syndrome, OCD, ADHD, ODD, anxiety and sleep disorders, and some sensory issues as well. I'm supposed to sit down with her school this commiong Tues May 5th to discuss having a 504 plan implemented for her and I don't even know where to begin. Her anxiety, ODD, sensory issues and sleep problems have been about 60% under control with medication and I'd say her Tics, OCD, and ADHD are about 30-40% under control depending on the day. Her symptoms differ from day to day and worsen with any sudden changes to her daily routine or environment, as well as stress, and we've also noticed that when she gets sick her sypmtoms go haywire. The only rescources that I have been able to contact are the NH dept. of education, the Tourette Syndrome Association, and The parent Information Center. None have them have been too helpful as of yet. I've been told that I should request for her to be evaluated by the school department for special needs. I still have no clue on how to write up a 504 plan and have little knowledge as to what would best accomodate my childs needs. I've already had a few run ins with my daughters school this year. I called for 3 weeks straight requesting the guidance counseler to call me back when I noticed my daughters grades dropping and It took for me to write a nasty letter to the school principal to get a return phone call. I don't want to go into this meeting blind. If anyone out there has gone through this, can you please help me?

You don't need to write the 504. It is designed for the parents, teachers, and students to be involved in educational decisions involved with your child. Teachers will HAVE to make appropriate accomodations for your child and that is what will be discussed. You know your child best so I would go in then w/suggestions of things that work at home that could also be tried in the classroom to assist in the success of your baby. Good luck and let them know that you are a bit intimidated and want any and all help working with them.
