[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 515131, member: 8831"] good for you :-) i never got the chance to respond back on your other thread, but just wanted to say that giftedness and disability (especially HIDDEN disabilities) can most certainly coexist. google 2e (twice exceptional) and it will lead you to some really great stuff...hoagies site has some really good info. mine is similar to yours in the respect she been extreme grade levels ahead in reading, has particular talents in most areas of math (not all) and pretty much hears it once and is good to go, provided she remembers it. she should have been in a gifted program from day one, but here its really just a heavier workload, and that part was the last thing she needed...sometimes schools dont get that they most certainly should, and CAN modify an excellerated program when its appropriate, and i regret not pushing the issue. its been a very difficult thing to manage in regard to schools--she struggles with adhd and other executive function, dysgraphia, some visual stuf, and a few other things. but i meant to say in the other one--tread very carefully in advancing yours a few grades in the subjects she excels in...it was up there with one of our biggest mistakes ever. there came a point where academically there was no place else to go. in hindsight, i'd have not bumped her up a few grades, i'd have insisted on more appropriate supplementation and high interest materials at her level (that I in IEP). mine ended up being literally *more* bored, because she already knew it all, if that makes any sense.
