This is interesting, I am reading wrightslaw off and on. I guess the person who is recommended the 504 over iep is concerned that my son not be put into remedial courses due to his general giftedness. I guess he has seen that happen; a course that is sold to a parent as 'smaller' and therefore better could actually be smaller because it is a class with remedial material.
So asking lots of questions is what we'll be doing.
