And there is no mandate on 2E kids so my son who is highly gifted with 2 different learning disabilities doesn't have the resources provided to him! Grrrrrr
Cola, you just received the diagnosis and testing report for your ds didn't you? Accommodations/resources/etc aren't automatically going to be given to your ds (or any student, in most districts), but you can advocate for them and you should receive them. Accommodations aren't "mandated" for anyone (2e or students who are extremely challenged with out the gifted e). In order to receive remediation/accommodations you have to show that your child needs them, which you should be able to do with the report and knowledge you have from testing. Have you requested either a 504 meeting or an IEP eligibility meeting yet? If you haven't, your first step is determining - does my child need an IEP or a 504 plan? Next step, make the request for a team meeting in writing to start the eligibility process (IEP) or write the 504 plan.
Hope that makes sense!
