[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 519337, member: 455"] Couple of thoughts came to my mind. First of all, when oldest difficult child/easy child was back in first grade (she is 20 now)her IQ tested out at 130 and no, there was no gifted program and I fought the school tooth and nail for [I]anything[/I] to help her because I knew she was "bored" and her behavior, beyond her other issues, was proving it out. They wouldn't let her skip a grade even when i begged them to test her for proof, etc. They wouldn't give her any lateral work or advanced work because they didn't have any in "elementary" school. She had to wait until she hit middle school before anything like that and that's where finally she was able to accel. However, I believe it was in NC that I saw that they [I]do[/I] have something specifically for gifted and talented children (a specialized IEP). First time I had ever seen that before. The other thought that came to mind is perhaps the meeting was for 504 accommodations and not IEP but that IEP is the word being used? I know my youngest difficult child [I]did[/I] get a 504 just based on ADHD at the time upon the time that his needs grew into needing an IEP. Waiting to hear what the paperwork reveals in more detail to better advise if I can as well. [/QUOTE]
