504 Plan

rainsmom · Aug 24, 2009

Rain's plan basically has water whenever, snacks and bathroom. she has always taken her enzymes herself at school. Rain is in the 8th grade now, if there is a teacher that I feel I need to address something specific with, I just make an appointment and remind them of the things on her 504. we've had great luck with school and really havent had to rely on the 504 other than letting her hav water or being tardy in the mornings due to whatever.

Emily has an IEP for special education and has a Health Plan attached to it.

Here is what her health plan includes:

1. How to handle cross-contamination concerns, since there is another entering 3rd grader with CF

2. A/C in classroom & if Emily becomes overheated outdoors she will be able to come in (most of playground bakes in the sun.)

3. water bottle at desk, extra snack if she needs it, unrestricted bathroom privileges

4. since she has to take her enzymes prior to getting to the cafeteria, she has to be able to eat right away (some tables have to wait up to 15min before getting their food due to how many kids are being fed at once. however, this is too long to wait after taking enzymes to start eating.) since she can't self-medicate we have to get her eating right away! (it would be SO much easier if she could just self-medicate!)

5. tissues and Purell at her own desk so she doesn't have to share the classroom's germy supply

6. seating will be adjusted as needed if other kids are disgustingly contagious around her (well not worded in just that way hehe.)

7. if a lot of time is missed due to illness makeup work will be restricted to only what is absolutely essential, recognizing the extra time she is still spending doing extra treatments, etc (the CF center's social worker worded this recommendation very nicely- in a way that stressed we were not looking for a free pass for Emily at all, but really stated the reality of it: when they are getting over being ill, they are still very tired, still doing extra treatments, barely able to keep up with the regular workload and won't be able to do a lot of busywork/repetitious stuff.

8. a fall-back plan for tutoring/homebound (as in Maggie's plan), if Emily ever needs a prolonged absence for hospitalization, etc. We hope to never have to use it but it's good to have it there just in case, esp since she's a spec ed student and more prone to regression academically. This was another recommendation from the clinic social worker.

We had a meeting this past spring when we had Emily's IEP meeting for this school year... now this coming Friday is the meeting to finalize the health plan. If we end up adding anything new or particularly interesting I'll add it. I hope your meeting goes well!

eta: a couple of you here told me about the cfri info and that was EXCELLENT. I printed it out for the IEP meeting back in May for her new nurse and spec ed teacher; I plan on bringing another copy of it Friday now that I will finally be meeting her reg ed teacher. It's a wonderful resource (even for non-educational purposes!)

posting again with something that occurred to me back from when we had our first health plan meeting when Emily was 3: don't forget, things like IEP's and 504's are legal documents and things that SHOULD just be common sense often are not. So they may not 'officially' be able to grant you that medical 504 in your state without a letter from the dr stating the dx. So to be on the safe side I would be sure to have a simple letter from his dr stating his dx and where he is receiving his care. Emily's letter gave this information as well as their recommendations for accommodations, but the dx and clinic caregivers was what they really needed legally.
