"Mom, we needed this last year."
"Last year was a disaster. His 504 plan did nothing. I showed your list to my son and he checked several accommodations that he thinks will be helpful. Why didn't his counselor suggest any of these?" (Mom of a 9th-grade student diagnosed with generalized anxiety.)

Your next special education meeting will impact your teen's success.
The clock is ticking toward graduation.
Past accommodations haven't really helped much.
You weren't prepared for this.
But, you are so determined to help your kid that you spend hours on the internet searching for information.
You worry all the time about how these low grades will affect your teen's future.
Do you...
Dread these meetings because you don't feel heard?
Feel like you are a fish out of water because you don't even know what to ask for?
Doubt that the school will offer the right type of support and services because they don't understand your teen's challenges?
Worry that your teen will fail another class?
There is a lot of free information about accommodations, but why take a chance on random ideas?
Why not trust other parents, who have already gotten wins for their teens?
Parents talk. They've already done the research for you.
Every accommodation listed in this guide has proven to be a win for a family. So, you can prepare for meetings in the privacy of your home and when the time comes, confidently guide the special education team toward the best care for your child.
If you knew your child was being supported at school in a way that decreases their anxiety and elicits more confidence and joy...
Maybe you could breathe for a moment.
Maybe you could go through an entire school day worry-free.
Maybe you'd feel proud being your teen's superstar advocate :).

Hi, I'm Dynell. Educational therapist. Mom of a teen who needs school accommodations.
Having sat in countless school meetings and been on the receiving end of too many emails or phone calls, I know how confusing and exhausting it can be to navigate school and your teen's diagnoses.
I created this list initially almost 10 years ago for me and my educational therapy clients. I regularly update it based on new information from teens, parents, and school partners. It saves a lot of time and is a great tool for teens to review so they can have a voice in this process.
