[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 308698, member: 3444"] If you think about it, anyone on either side of the "normal" continuum, whether it's gifted or learning disabled, is part of Special Education. It just means they can't use the standard template for teaching these kids. It means they get from A to Z in their learning process by a route that's off the beaten path. Doesn't make it any better or worse, it's just a different way of getting to the same end result (like Shari said): A functioning and successful ADULT. Maybe if you talk to him about it that way -- that there is more than one way to get somewhere. The majority of people may take the freeway, but some folks do better on the scenic route, or taking side streets, or walking, or riding a bike. They still get to the same place, but by a different route. That's all. [/QUOTE]
