But some schools only implement what they consider reasonable in the 504 plan and ignore the rest of it. From personal experience, my son's plan was honored for a short time and then the school found it too demanding and stopped implementing it over time. I would go to the school and have a conference with the teacher and principal, and things would be okay for awhile, but the school would let it slide until I went back to the school. My son became traumatized by the lack of implementing his plan, and his anxiety got much worse, to the point that every day was a battle to get him to go to school. I was exhausted, we were in counseling every week, he was on a boat-load of medication and seeing the psychiatrist at least monthly. When they called and told me to withdraw him from school or he would be expelled, I made up my mind that we were going to home-school.
