504 PLAN for babytay?

[babytay]

well today has been terrible already and its on 3:00pm
My son was in the office at school all day. He fell down the stairs at school and pushed others down with him. they called but I had meetings all day at work today.
I am going to try to go on nights at work or find a night job all together.

Meanwhile I talked to the social worker and principle at my sons old school in our neighborhood. They said he would be able to possibly get a 504 plan. IEP wouldnt work for him because he can understand the work. She said that he would score to well on the test to say he was LD. Does this sound right? Its seems like the 504 plan would help. It also sounds like she wouldnt mind him coming back.
I hate all of this I feel like I am a basket case. It is so embarassing to even go inside the school he goes to now I feel like everyone is talking about me and my bad kid. I really think he doesnt mean to do alot of the things he does. I hope I am right

Babytay,

You have nothing, nothing, nothing to be embarassed about.
I do know how you feel. When I walk in to school, they ask if me if I belong to Brian....

You have got to find humor in it all or you will go crazy ;D

You also might want to rethink the night job. You will probably be needed at home to help with school work at night.

Now reqarding the 504 or IEP. Both would benefit your little guy. My son was an over-acheiver also so he didn't qualify for the IEP but the 504 plan has worked fine.

It is a long process, so relax & take one step at a time. I know the panic that you are feeling. Take some tiem for yourself. Believe me, it won't make a difference because the school's are in no hurry.

I think you should keep your son in the school that you have the most faith in & where he is the most comfortable.

Just remember....our kids will grow up despite ourselves & what the schools do....& they will be great

Hugs to you
Laurie
