Steps to take when reporting an issues with 504 plan accommodations.

How to Deal With 504 Plan Violations

Remember that the goal is not so much to enforce the letter of the 504 Plan as it is to get your child the assistance and adjustments needed. If school personnel have alternative suggestions, be open to them—or make some yourself. If a teacher objects to things like more time on tests or lessened workload because they give an unfair advantage, ask if there’s some extra credit work your child could do in an area of strength to compensate for that. This may help your child feel they’re fully pulling her weight, too. Remain as calm, organized, and collaborative with school personnel as you would like them to be with you. You can let out your frustrations when you get home.
