SHARED WISDOM

• Students suffering from anxiety and depression, affecting school attendance:

Our special education cooperative representative…explained that an adjusted schedule/attendance plan could be a [504] accommodation.  We required medical notes with statements recommending the adjustment. We had our building principal attend the 504 meeting to be sure the parents were on the same page as far as the seriousness of there actually needing to be effort put into getting this student into the building. With an emphasis being that the more time spent out of the building then the more anxiety there will be when they return…Maybe a “guidance pass” could be part of the 504 as well. We provide a guidance pass as an accommodation for students that need to get out of class and take a quick break for one emotional reason or another.  (Counselor Talk, Sept. 2017)
