Arden's past and current 504 plans are available to Download
Scott Benner
Back to school...
Well the years are flying by and Arden's 504 plan is constantly morphing. Please feel free to read, download, use these documents as your own. You may need to make changes so the document reflect your child's specific needs. Arden's 504 was originally written by me in 2006 though I relied heavily on the JDRF and ADA templates of the day. Arden's 504 has been slightly modified each year since kindergarten, just like Arden it continually changes and grows. I hope that it helps you in creating your own. I'm digging up 504's from other grades and will be updating this page with new documents as I am able.
The plans have been redacted in the spots where you will need to fill in your information. Look for text that looks like this <TEXT>.
Good luck!

While you are thinking about diabetes and education I would like to urge you to listen to a few episodes of the Juicebox Podcast that focus on a student's time at school.
Texting Diabetes: All about how we use something as simple as text messaging to manage Arden's type 1 diabetes while she is at school or anytime that she is out of the house. This simple process has led to lower a A1c, better grades, an increase in self-confidence and much more.
Talking 504 Plans with D-Mom Jill: Getting a 504 plan is easier than you think and it's super important!
Talking To School Administrators That Don't Get Type 1 Diabetes
Going to College with T1D: College freshman Elias was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes before his senior year in high school.
Teach Our Children Well: Is what you say about type 1 diabetes to your teachers and administrators always what they hear and do your expectations and needs match what they understand and are able to deliver?
Advocating at School: This is taking advocating for children with type 1 diabetes to a new level.
College with Type 1 on Day One: Amanda has only been at college for a few days and she's on the podcast to tell us about her initial experience.
Teacher of the Year: Denny is a good man and a great teacher. This episode is all about the difference that one dedicated teacher can make in a child's life with type 1 diabetes.
