We don't use a 504 but we do have some accommodations in an IHCP.
Our high school nurse started writing these and putting them on record before we even met her and now, she will email DD and I in June and ask if we would like to change anything for the following year! She is so very proactive and supportive! She also words things in ways I agree with. After years of chasing people down and negotiating - it has been a breath of fresh air to sit back and let her be proactive!
They include: (Rats, it's a PDF because it has signatures, I can copy but not edit so I will highlight due to DD's name used often)
States meds DD carries daily
States meds stored in nurse's office
States DD will remind any nurse treating her about her Bacitracin allergy (because it is unusual)
Teachers will not single DD out with reference to her allergies
DD will carry wipes to clean surfaces if needed in her classrooms
DD is allowed to leave and report to school nurse anytime she is uncomfortable or feels unsafe with a situation in a classroom without repercussions
Parents will be informed of any school event, class event, or activity where food may be served. Accommodations will be discussed and mutually agreed upon to insure inclusion.
DD will inform parents if she is to participate in an activity
Teachers can and will contact DD's parents to research classroom materials or supplies to determine safety (ie science lab materials). Teachers must give adequate time (a minimum of 3 days) to research the safety of material or supplies prior to use.
Prior to field trips, accommodations will be discussed with parents and DD and mutually agreed upon. The accommodations may or may not include parent participation, but will include total inclusion for DD.
DD will be given the opportunity to purchase safe school lunches through meetings and planning with the school cafeteria manager.
Prior to the start of school, the school nurse will ensure the interior of DD's locker is cleaned with soap and water to remove any traces of food and pets.
Prior to the start of school, the school nurse will provide ingredients list, manufacturer, and manufacturer pone number of the soap that will be used throughout the school so DD's parents can verify safety of use.
School administration will instruct and inform any staff responsible for DD's classes of her allergies and necessary safeguards.
Parents and DD will inform any coaches and activity leaders of her allergies and medical needs.
High School has been different and so much easier. The only time I got my back up was a Biology Lab in which the pre-lab had not been updated and it was sent home to include burning nuts! Turns out it had been changed to crackers due to allergies but that cause some grief and stress for a day. Other than that DD is treated so well and adult like and some of her teachers ask her private questions out of curiosity and interest.
Even Prom was handled so very well.
So when we get the email from the school nurse this June, I will ask her to add something about school evacuations.
Hope that is helpful!
