504 case management

[NutmeggeRN, BSN]

When you review all your 504 kiddos grades, and EVERYONE is on track for a successful end to the trimester...its a good day!

That's awesome! 

Just for curiosity's sake, how involved are you with the IEP/504 plans? We have a staff member specifically to manage all of those. I am never involved with the meetings (unless I have a new diabetic student). I know who all my 504 kids are and have their plans printed but other than that I'm totally hands off. Just curious what other people do.

Not OP, but in our district we're part of every medical 504 at our sites, and attend the meetings. We have 2-3 sites. 
 

In our state every kid being assessed for an IEP (and initial and every 3 years thereafter) needs a health screening, which includes vision, hearing, and an assessment of health. Usually a call with parents about health history, meds, conditions, hospitalizations, etc. We only attend the IEPs for major health needs (like frequent seizures or nursing services like tube feeds, but not every kid with asthma or food allergies if it's managed) or a parent request.
