Question re: emails. What part do these play in 504 meetings? Do they give you an opportunity to share this "evidence?" Ours have never included that component.

I really don't think the point of 504 updates is to "start from scratch." My understanding is that it is a dynamic document and is adjusted to meet the student's current needs. Does anyone have a resource explaining that point? It sounds like the counselor in OP has a misconception of the process. Or am I missing something?
