<p>wedgedrive, thumper1 - lots of students have 504 plans at colleges and professors are just as obligated to honor the accommodations that have been agreed to, as are teachers. The federal 504 law is an anti-discrimination law overseen by the Office of Civil Rights. A 504 Plan is not the same as special education (IEP) or modifying the curriculum. It is a means of leveling the playing field for someone who meets the federal criteria for a legal disability but is trying to particpate in regular education (there are specific criteria, including disabilities that impact learning and that prevent equal access to the curriculum). So, if a student has dysgraphia, for example, but knows the material, he/she is not punished for needing more time to write - he/she is given the accommodation of more time, just as a hard of hearing student is allowed to have an FM system, etc. Going to a writing center is not going to help the student who has to write an essay for an exam but needs more time to get down on paper what he/she knows. While it’s nice to choose a college that offers a lot of support services, it would probably be better to choose a school that understands their obligations to students who need accommodations, if indeed your daughter demonstrates a a disorder in this area. At work, people who have disabilities are allowed accommodations to access their jobs and to perform their jobs (to certain limits) via the ADA law - this is similar for students.</p>
