GWENNA BOWERS was thinking about Newbie and keyed into cyberspace:
GB>->I am a newbie to this echo.. I am interested in ADD and ADHD
GB>->because my
GB>->husband has been diagnosed ADD and my kids are borderline, but
GB>->never
GB>->been diagnosed.  I have a question.
GB>->-> I wonder if the schools know how to handle or inpliment a 504?
GB>->-> I know that one was written up and signed last year for my
GB>->-> daughter and I know that it is not being followed and she is at
GB>->-> risk of failing the fourth grade.
GB>->What is a 504?
GB>I am not sure I can fully answer that question.  In short it directs
GB>the  teacher to assist the child in problem areas if the child needs
GB>to sit in  front of the class in order to better pay attation (sp)
GB>then the teacher is to  make sure that is were the child sits.  If
GB>the homework is written down the  teacher makes sure that it is
GB>correctly written as to what is expected.  I may  be off on this but
GB>if you were to ask "All" someone in this echo should be  able to give
GB>a better discription.  Now that you brought it up I am going to  pull
GB>out my books on ADD and look it up tomarrow as if I was to turn on
GB>all  the lights looking for it it will wake everyone up. 
504 specifically refers to a section of the Rehab Act. A 504 plan 
specifies the unique needs of the child and the proposed remediations 
and accommodations.
