When you get discouraged, know that your push for 504 and rights of your child WILL make a difference:

I recently attended a presentation by a Senior Attorney for the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) in Denver, about Section 504, Title II and Students with Disabilities in Public Schools. This presentation was made to the MOSAIC support group in Denver, Colorado on  May 7, 2012 in regard to 504 Plans in the K-12 school setting. Information in this blog post should not be used to argue a specific issue that you may have with a school, but is provided here for informational purposes only.

The attorney started the talk with 3 rules:

1.            There are rules about this "stuff"
2.            The rules are your friends
3.            Follow the rules

making sure this is in here:

Also found this buried in my huge amount of 504 info -- it is a quote from an attorney's website (in Texas) --

Question 5: If we do the accommodations for the student, do we have to refer the child and go through the procedural hassle of 504?

Yes. If the student qualifies for 504, doing the accommodations without providing the procedural protections is a violation. That was the case where a school district provided a student who had undergone hip surgery with appropriate modifications, but failed to have procedures in place to document the deliberation of, or provision of accommodations [the. regulations require no such documentation], or to inform parents of the procedure to follow should their student become disabled. Temple (TX) ISD, 25 IDELR 232 (OCR 1996). There can be few results as unpalatable as one where the district provides sufficient supports to a qualified disabled student, but nevertheless is found in violation for not jumping through the procedural hoops.

Another resource I've found.

Site has pretty understandable verbiage as well.

Not sure if we had this in our links/tips thread.  Pardon if repeat.  Stumbled on it as I was working to move content over to new site.
