[QUOTE="Martie, post: 133783, member: 284"] Here is the important legal note: Giftedness is not a category under IDEA. I have a very gifted son, and because IL does not have anything required to address either giftedness or talent, he got nothing. HOWEVER, if there HAD been a program available, he could not been have denied admission if OTHERWISE QUALIFIED despite also having a disability. It sounds to me as though thank you is OTHERWISE QUALIFIED. That is always the legal test for discrimination under the ADA and 504...a disabled person must be otherwise qualified... In terms of gifted disabled kids, they are out of luck if the SD does not provide for EVERYONE'S giftedness. I am not sure I would WANT to have my child spend any time with this teacher. I agree that accelerated classes tend to be available in secondary school based on performance at that time, not performance years before. Martie :warrior: [/QUOTE]
