You have to get the 504 from the pediatrician though, and the pedi said my daughter is high functioning and didn't recommend her for 504. I probably could get the pediatrician to give me the form, especially when I talked about a few of these issues as the visit was ending, but I don't think my husband will back me up.

We did have some IEP meetings with the school when my daughter was in kindergarten & first grade. She was supposed to get some occupational therapy for things that affected her school day (such as hating the noise of the hand blow dryers in the restrooms so much, they finally just started sending her to the nurse's bathroom, where there were paper towels). Her school has a very high turnover of counselors for some reason. You don't see it with the teachers or other staff except they've also gone through a few nurses. I should try to push the issue with the counselor this year. I think this will actually be her 3rd year there.

Maybe with the principal too. The principal there is great (if a workaholic). She learns all the kids by name as soon as she can (though my daughter is an easier one to learn since her school is about 95% Hispanic, and my daughter is Anglo & blonde). My daughter loves the principal (sometimes, the counselors would even send her to sit with the principal if the principal was doing paperwork, and my daughter had a meltdown for no reason anyone could tell and wouldn't use words until my daughter calmed down enough to talk with words). There always was a reason; it was just oftentimes, extremely subtle and not easily apparent.

Anyway, the principal is always at the PTO meetings, and the PTO participating parents group is tiny, 20 parents or less. I could have a word with her then. Sometimes the counselor is at the PTO meetings too if an upcoming event involves the counselor.
