504 plans are what they do for 2e kids here. Dd has 99.9th percentile IQ scores and an ADD and anxiety disorder dx from a psych. At this point, her school seems unwilling to do a 504, though, b/c they feel that the things the psych suggested, such as oral testing, would be something all students would benefit from and it would be unfair to give them just to her.
If your child qualifies under Section 504 due to her disability, they can't legally refuse to give your child accommodations that she NEEDS just because they don't give them to non-disabled students who WANT them. The difference between NEED and WANT is a crucial one here.
I would suggest that you check out
