Hi. My 7yr old DD is a 2e DYS. 2e kids are definitely welcome in the Young Scholars program. Like Cricket said 2e kids do still have to hit the minimum qualifying scores. We also had the issue with having a teacher write the recommendation letter. They didn't even want to recommend her for the district gifted program! The recommendation letter problem was solved thanks to a good friend who knows my DD well and happens to have her PhD in Education. I've found the advocacy that the DYS program provides very useful.
