Series 7 Episode 11b Starbear's 504 Meeting for Inattentive ADHD

Описание: Starbear is an 8th Grader with Inattentive ADHD. Lately, Starbear has been manipulating their 504 (for inattentive ADHD) in order to hang out with friends and get out of class.
We see this in 8th grade more than 6th and 7th grade. FRIENDS are a huge motivator.
However, manipulating a Legal document is NOT OKAY! Parent has been receiving calls for Missing Assignments and Tardies. Parent has called for a review of the 504 meeting.

In this episode, I show the audience what a review of a 504 Meeting looks like with the student (Starbear), parent/guardian, school counselor, and a regular education teacher. This group has called itself, "TEAM Starbear."

TEAM Starbear is realistic, listens to each other, understands how ADHD will impact Starbear's whole life in positive and difficult ways, and collaborates to come up with LEGAL accommodations and some NON-Legal general agreements.

We came up with 4 accommodations on the 504 plan:
Regular education teachers will:
1. Allow extended time up to 1-2 weeks, depending on assessment.
2. Follow an organizational checklist that Starbear will follow.
3. Seat Starbear in the front or the place in the classroom to minimize distractions
4. Use a private signal for Starbear to refocus attention during class.

Parent, School Counselor, AND Starbear, of course, have also committed to a few strategies outside of the 504.
This is a TEAM approach.
