I want a 504 for future teachers to prevent some of the strange things that are happening now. For instance, she is kept in from recess to finish work or tests. She gets half of the words on her spelling tests marked wrong because she is slow with writing and leaves blank words. She has a ton of copying homework (spelling) which takes hours. She just does everything too slow.
When she is not medicated, then things become even more complicated, in that she does nothing at all. If I sent her in unmedicated regularly, honestly I think she would need an aide and some pretty major classroom modifications. But luckily with her meds what we are mainly seeing is just slow processing. Her teacher asked if we could try reducing her meds so I did. She became very happy and social and delightful but could not accomplish any work whatsoever. Teacher said, please, can we raise dose back up.
