I'm a gifted education teacher in Comox, British Columbia, Canada, who works with students in grades 4-7. I've always appreciated the support of my gifted colleagues world wide! I have a new student who we just screened for our district's Challenge program who I suspect is gifted but didn't screen well as he is also challenged with FASD, ADHD, sensory processing, OCD, plus learning disabilities (dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyscalculia).
I'm completely overwhelmed as I know a little about some of these; but little to nothing about the context this child faces every day as he learns. I'm wondering if there might be others you could put me in touch with or make suggestions as to who I might contact with additional questions. Are their resources or websites that you might suggest as we create a learning plan? The parents are desperate for support and I really want to support them; but just need some advice and suggestions on where to begin.
