Thanks for the input--much appreciated. Your probably right, he's probably not maxed out of the math curriculum of the bldg (those were the principal's words perhaps to justify that acceleration would be useless--I'm pretty sure they're resistant to the idea).
As for mapping out a plan, that's probably our next step. The psychologist mentioned "benchmark" tests and I also suggested Iowa Acceleration Scale (which he was unfamiliar with)
However, is placing a five year old in a second or third grade class a good idea? If so, then what happens next year? The writing is definitely an issue--not his strong suit and he just started getting OT.
I have called our DYS consultant (more than once) and each time all she's done is recommend or send me links to articles.
I've read some of the social/emotional articles, perhaps bringing them with me to enlighten them is a good idea.
