Thanks MON. This is off-topic but I emailed DS's teacher last week and told her that DS told me that he hardly ever uses his slant board in class, he hardly ever gets reminders, and can't remember to use it himself. I have asked about this to the school OT and teacher about 3 times already, and always get back "It is available for him to use and right next to him." I am getting angry. It's like telling a 6 year old that he has a behavior chart available to use and he is free to put smiley's on it when he catches himself doing something good. What good is the modification/accommodation section of the IEP if he is expected to do everything on his own. He is 6 with executive functioning issues, and they know that since they tested him themselves.
I can see that any accommodations will have to be extremely specific or teachers will simply not follow them. For the spelling tests we will have to say "DD will not leave words blank on spelling tests. Teacher will look at spelling test when she is finished, and repeat words that are unfinished or left blank."
Her teacher read the psych report already herself and the psych specifically mentioned the spelling test issue and what should be done about it. The teacher has just chosen to ignore it.
In terms of talking about the 504 and how odd it is the school can't figure this out, I meant when the top level admin lady for the district calls me. She needs to know the school is not giving kids 504s, doing evals, etc.
