Yes, I'd think it is probably better to know-- because she is old enough now to remember and use the information as much as you are. 

I'll keep my fingers crossed too!  :crossed:

Yes to all of this.  :crossed:

Just to give an update - we didn't make it past the first step of the IOFC.  The allergist put a little on her forearm (no prick) and she was definitely contact sensitive.  He said that would not have happened if she wasn't allergic.  I wish he had just done this step at our last visit a few weeks ago.  Oh well, he said he will send me the letters I requested at the last appt (one for elig and one about accommodation recommendations).

Time is flying by.

Yes-- hard to argue with clinical evidence like that.  (Looking on the bright side, I mean).

I hear you on the 'time' thing.  I'm kind of frothing at the bit a little with each school day that passes and brings us closer to the end of the school year, myself.   :-/

I don`t know.  My understanding of contact sensitive means you have more than a localized reaction where there is contact.  Isn`t this just like a positive skin test?  She reacted where it was applied to her skin.  When someone has outgrown an allergy, 50% of the time they still have a positive skin test.  Dd has never been skin tested before a challenge for that reason.  Our allergist would not agree that a local reaction where the allergen is applied means that the person is still allergic.  Or did she react elsewhere?

I wanted to say thank you to everybody for their help.  I'm sorry for all of the edits -- it's just something that I feel I need to do at the moment in this particular thread.

Thank you ajas.  I really appreciate it.  I feel bad because I like to leave things up to help others in the future, but it always feels like a "tug of war" to me (sharing enough to get help and to help others versus the need for privacy).

I wish I could say everything is good, but things are going much slower than I originally thought they would.

Does anybody know where the thread is with sample 504's?

I know where it is, but can't do it until after 3.  Come back later and hopefully they will be linked.

Yes, a few.  You might PM KoutureKat and see if she'd be willing to share her DS' with you, sbs.  Her son's 504 plan is exceedingly thorough and thoughtful.  For many years, I know that it was regarded as being the gold standard among the community, much the way GailW's/our physician's letter is.

(That reminds me that I need to type that original primary grade qualifying letter up.)

I need a camping icon because I'm going to be here a lot the next couple of days.

From what I've been reading, it does not appear that the 504 I hope to set up at the current school will transfer automatically, especially since we are switching states.  It seems sometimes the new schools will temporarily use the current 504, but it seems they can review eligibility for themselves.  I guess, my concern, besides getting this done so late in the school year, is that they will see dd's accommodations and then that could influence how things go at the new school.  Maybe I'm off base in my understanding.

We now know which school district she will be in so I am almost ready to contact them to at least get her enrolled.

Does anybody have experience with switching schools in different states with 504s?
