I asked about an extra set of books at our very first 504 meeting years ago and was told NO, the books are very expensive and only a child without legs or arms would be able to get that accommodation. I remember this because I laughed out loud, literally, and immediately knew they thought I was a monster. I wasn't laughing about a child without arms or legs but at this preposterous statement. That was the beginning of my "advocacy journey." Not much talent for it, clearly.
I don't think our district is very good at any of this. I wrote a detailed email to the teacher explaining how this is a good example of DS getting his wires crossed. I got one line back, not very responsive.
I'm looking online to see if we can rent or buy his textbooks. He doesn't know how to open his locker. He doesn't seem to understand any of this. He is really impaired.
