Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Twice Exceptional checklists for possible 504 accommodations

This is a great list, indigo. I'd add one thing that was very helpful for us when advocating: our state department of education publishes a list of typical classroom and testing accommodations in their SPED policy book, which can be found online at the state's department of education website. When we were advocating, it was *easy* to get agreement for anything that was already on this list; the tough advocacy came when we requested anything that wasn't on this list. We were able to successfully advocate for the accommodations our ds needed, but it was really helpful going in knowing which items were routine for our local schools and which would be not-so-routine - with the not-so-routine requests, it helped to both be prepared in the "why" as well as prepared with suggestions re how to implement the accommodations.
