I'm also in CO. It really depends on your local school district and often individual schools. My gifted dyslexic DD11 is in 6th and will be going to middle school next year. We have a 504 in place. We are looking at having her do a gt program but potentially pulling her out to go to traditional language arts. We've had very positive discussions with the middle school so far.
Are you in the Denver metro area or somewhere else in the state? You can PM me if you don't want to put it on the public forum.
