DD8 (MG, 2E, processing speed issues and motor incoordination) is in a 1 yr accelerated program at a gifted school, it's the right fit for her and she is doing well but she too has difficulty with the basic stuff. I worked with the school and they put a 504 program in place for her so she can have 50% extra time on calculations and writing. That has helped. What helped set that up was her teacher last year was able to show that she performed "at or above" the class average when given more time. So if your DD needs some extra time, maybe that would help protect her.Maybe you can add that to the IEP if they do timed assessments?
