Reply to "Want to learn how to write a 504 Plan for a 7yr old I just got, w/ HIGH ACEs"

If ACEs are part of the child's history, I would try to refer to any diagnosis (if he has one) as being related to ACEs:  "ADHD is X times more prevalent in children with more than 5 ACEs."  I'd work ACE language into the document, because the 504 plan will travel with the child and it will alert his future teachers to the ACE history and hopefully inspire a more compassionate assessment of the child and his behaviors.  If there are recommendations that address ACEs, include them.  For example, principles of trauma-informed classrooms can be used to help this child to get centered, calm down, or receive help if he needs it.  If things "work" with him, make sure they become part of his plan.
