It’s been a busy week/weekend for me so instead of writing a blog post today, I thought I’d share something that I found recently when cleaning/organizing some old files…
There are so many great resources out there for children with diabetes these days. I’ve seen some D-parent bloggers in passing mention a Section 504 plan. I’m not sure if this was available back when I was growing up but with the internet these days, it’s much easier to access the information and tools that a child with diabetes would need. The Children with Diabetes website has lots of great information, like a sample 504 plan shown below:
Section 504 Plan
I’ve recently been cleaning and organizing some of my old files and I came across what I like to consider my old school Section 504 Plan. Here is what my plan looked like in 1999 when I was going into the 10th grade!
My 504 plan from 1999!
LOL, I refused to tell my high school I had diabetes. I hid it really well until about winter break. Imagine my surprise on the mid year locker investigation and they found a vial of a clear liquid (I peeled the R label off) and 14 syringes with needles. Who woo I love having fun when it comes to messing with power.
It turns out that schools take a dim view of such actions. Seems sort of funny all in all.
Haha I bet that was fun to explain 😛
