Incog, I'm sorry they seem to have backpedaled on Aleks. We were able to get pretesting, but all that means is that DS gets their challenge worksheets (without teacher help) in place of the regular stuff. The only change we got was that they agreed that he didn't have to do extra math work on top of whatever they are requiring.
They did consider, however, access to distance learning courses for him. We backed off but will probably ask about them again (supplying our own headphones, of course). As Grinity posted somewhere else, the thing that worked for us was stressing how unhappy and frustrated he's been in school. When we put it in terms of giftedness, they just cited school policy (have to conform to the curriculum, and differentiation, not acceleration) and threatened to pull his IEP.
