[QUOTE="keista, post: 471621, member: 11965"] Oh H E doublehockeysticks NO. You're right, that kind of turn is a bad sign. The principle behind IEP is to give children with disabilities a Free and [B]Appropriate[/B] Public Education. Since your child has already been identified as gifted, then it stands to reason that whatever placement is decided, it should be [B]APPROPRIATE[/B] for a [B]gifted[/B] child. Of course, I am using logic here since I do not know if there are any specific provisions in the laws regarding gifted placement. [url=http://www.wrightslaw.com/]Wrightslaw Special Education Law and Advocacy[/url] that's the primary website for all IEP information. IF the DOE was willing to pay for placement in a school such as The Lang School, it might be the best placement possible. That way, your son would be having ALL his needs met in a suitable and nurturing environment. Schools like that not only enrich the gifted child and address behavior, but also teach the child to channel their own 'eccentricities' in the most positive way possible. Anyway speculating before evaluations are made is just that - speculating. It is possible that they might find some 'easily' addressable issues, that with some intervention and minor accommodations, will diminish the "poor behavior" and make him seem almost "normal" by the way it is theorized that some very famous, very intelligent ppl have Asperger's syndrome. An Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) (Autism Spectrum Disorder). These include Bill Gates and Albert Einstein. [/QUOTE]
