DD7 has some issues and everyone that's worked with her has suggested a 504 plan. I have a meeting at school set up for later in the month. She attends a gifted school with a rigorous curriculum. She understands the material but has memory, speed, fine motor and gross motor problems getting in her way according to her IQ testing and OT evaluation. I would like to help her as much as possible so she has an easier time next year. She is getting A and B grades but her math and spelling slip because those ares most effected.

I worry for her that the school will think this is a kid that 1: can't keep up or 2: can't do math & spelling. BUT when given extra time on math tests she does very well, she just can't get it done quickly, it takes her a very long time.

Any help, encouragement, words of wisdom or suggestions? This is so new to me!
