[QUOTE="buddy, post: 587856, member: 12886"] Since he is not enrolled in that school yet, or attending, maybe try calling early childhood ...the folks your other son has the IEP through. You might be able to get something started now. A 504 plan and an IEP are both plans under the American's with Disabilities Act. 504 plans cover accommodations that a disabled person would need to get along in school just the same as if they were in another setting like work....reasonable accommodations must be made. In some schools, they have a good way of doing this and people who really do follow through. More often, it works better for someone with a health condition where maybe they need a certain something in a class that really does not require much of a teacher. For a child who really needs goals and objectives to learn skills, as well as accommodations, the only kind of plan that has funding to back it up is an IEP. If a school doesn't follow a 504 plan you could bring a civil discrimination suit against the district, but with an IEP there are many safeguards and legal obligations that the school and district must follow. You get none of the protections with a 504 plan. There are many easy explanations online if you just put in 504 school plan versus IEP. In your case, I really hope they will step up. If you submit a written request for an evaluation and send it registered mail, (if you want to wait until the school year starts that is ok....it may be better to have those who are going to be invested in working with him do it, as long as they are aware, listening to you and observing and helping all along before that)..... I'd have it ready to go from day one...that way you will be first on the evaluation list. (again if not able to get some thing through ECSE) As you know from the other child, they will then have a time limit to respond and then to finish the evaluation after the evaluation plan is signed by you. I think having a meeting with the principal as you said is smart so at least he can be placed with a teacher who is able to handle his kinds of needs (some are just better matches and principals know which ones)....you had said you wanted to do that I belive, right? (sorry if I am getting you mixed up, I didn't look at the past posts) He is not in ecse, right? If I am wrong and he IS already then that IEP will follow him. I better wait till you reply, lol, I think I am confusing myself. [/QUOTE]
