I'm still learning how to navigate this 2e world.
This group has given me some great feedback so far, and I'm wondering if you can help me again.
Which is "better," in your opinion...a 504, or an IEP?
The speech therapist at my 12-year-old son's elementary school told me we should avoid a 504 if possible, because the IEP would get more attention, whereas a 504 is easier for schools to ignore (and the IEP has more flexibility for accommodations). Since I have little to no experience with how all of this works, I've been taking her advice and steering my GT/dysgraphic/APD son away from the 504, but it's been brought up several times by his middle school staff.
Am I avoiding this unnecessarily and/or harmfully?
