I agree-- someone needs to know that the school is failing in its child-find obligations. Any school official that will tell a parent "we don't DO 504 plans here" is potentially a major liability if, say.... some other parent... (like, I'm not that kind of person... I'm a reasonably person, but WOW, not everyone is... whistle )

wanted to cause problems. This is a gaping area of noncompliance.


Also agree about keeping the focus on what SHOULD be in that document... and not on what hasn't been working in the classroom. If you keep accommodations positive "Child will be encouraged to advocate for her needs as follows:" then that opens up the door to put specifics in there like having the teacher actually COACH asking when the student needs an accommodation which is on an "as needed" basis.
