Dyslexia and High IQ kid

@PurplePlum @elena13 “Yes, I’m not sure that the time spent trying to get a 504 plan would be worth it. It would be important to think about what you would be asking from the school. What do you want the school or teachers to provide and would they do so without a plan, just by asking?”

Just a note of caution on just asking for accommodations without a 504 or IEP. Some teachers may be willing to accommodate without a plan. Many teachers did this for my son. It was simple things like not making him color on worksheets or letting him type note cards instead of handwriting them. When I asked his math teacher to allow him extra time, he said he could not do that without a 504. Part of that is protection for the teacher, because if he gives one kid an accommodation without a 504 or IEP then he is making a judgement call. He has no “official” reason for other parents/students who question why he let X have extra time but not their child/them. Teacher usually want to help your child succeed, but are sometimes restricted due to external pressures.
