He does not qualify for an IEP but he does have a 504.
Here is the list of accommodations:
1. When possible, given a second and/or third opportunity to look at written work. Conferences and direction from teachers would benefit him greatly for any type of written response.
2. For larger projects, a check list with step by step directions on items needed to be completed with due dates.
3. Child will be provided with class notes.
4. Child will have space and person to go to for a break when he is feeling anxious.
5. Child will have preferential seating away from distracters and sit near role model type students.
6. Child will be allowed to take short breaks when needed out of the classroom or in the back of the classroom as long as he does not engage in distracting others.
9. Child will be allowed to type assignments if needed.
10. Teachers will be aware that Child is a literal thinker. Calm, precise and positive direction is important for Child.
11. Teachers will be aware that Child does best with structure. Pre-teaching for schedule changes is important
I'm really looking for ways to help him mentally prepare so that his anxiety doesn't make him implode. The month leading up to school starting and the first 2 weeks are always the worst. This year he may wear a hole in my carpet from pacing. He's already starting. Counseling hasn't helped much with this.
