I am trying to research and wondering if anyone has one set in place at their child's school? How is it working and do you think it is beneficial? School starts on the 26th, Becca will be starting Middle School (6th grade) and I called and talked to the school nurse because I was concerned about her needing help into and out of the brace for PE. She mentioned her maybe needing a 504 plan and I asked her what it was and she said it was a form for special education and I immediately dismissed it because she is free to do ALL activities she just needs some help with getting in and out of her brace. We just got her brace on Wednesday and we are still weaning her into it. She is now wearing it for 3 hour at a time with an half-1hour break inbetween wear. Now I am wondering if she is going to need more assistance as school. It is uncomfortable to sit on the floor, wondering if she is going to have a problem with her desk and the chairs at school. Carrying her books. Also I was trying to explain to her that we might need to get her a new backpack. Currently she has a messenger bag that she uses and LOVES but I'm concerned about that the weight is bared only on the one shoulder with the messenger bag. She doesn't agree and thinks she can handle using her current bag.
Anyways... I guess my big question is what modifications have you or the school made to make the school day easier for your kiddos.
