Hi everyone,

My son has been struggling with multiple choices on test he has a 504 plan. I spoke with a mom over the weekend and she told me I can make adjustments ts to his multiple choice tests. Such as more spaces, more sheets to help him.

I called up the study team an d explained about the problem not once did they suggest this option. Luckily, at the end of my conversation I said about the spacing etc. So, now they will try it on .my son.

My point is never give up, this group is so amazing to swap ideas and suggestions. Because, sometimes they don't offer you solutions at the school.

Baglafy5353-

You should also include mark on the test booklet so he doesn't have to transfer his answers.

Has your son seen a pediatric opthomologist? To make sure there are no "tracking" issues with his eyes?

Sometimes this can be an issue if a child can not move their eye from one side to another.

Best of luck

Sometimes we have to advocate for our children's educational needs. I have two children with IEPs and found that in some schools they've been at, the teachers and therapists and evaluators were amazing and in other schools, not so much. You're right...it's great to have a place to go for ideas from other parents who are on the same journey.
