These challenges are directly related to their diagnosed condition and require specific interventions and accommodations to address effectively.

I am eager to work collaboratively with the school’s 504 team to identify and implement strategies that will support [Child’s Name]’s learning and growth.

Please let me know the next steps in the process and when we can schedule a meeting to discuss this further. I am available to meet at your earliest convenience and can be reached at [Your Contact Information].

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to working together to support [Child’s Name]’s success at [School’s Name].
