DS8 is choosing not to use accomodations in his 504 because he doesn't want to "stick out like a sore thumb." Specifically, he is able to type rather than handwrite long assignments and use a standing desk available in the classroom. At home he will type, but he won't do it at school among peers unless everyone else is. This summer he became very sensitive to feeling different (even more sensitive than he already was). What do I do? Does he just need time to mature? We have worked so hard with the school for a number of years to get the right supports in place, and he is going to struggle at school with writing assignments if he doesn't use the accomodations.
