Back to your original question - I don't have an answer for you, but I have heard many times what aeh said above. I think that when you're advocating, it might be potentially more useful to focus on finding articles/research/etc that shows the chances of a 2e child having dyslexia go undiagnosed, or articles on how dyslexia presents in gifted children, rather than trying to put a lot of effort into proving that there is a higher percentage of dyslexic people in the gifted population. Whether or not it's one child or 50000 that are truly dyslexic, the school district needs to understand how it presents and how to screen so as to not miss it.

Good luck with your advocacy! Let us know how it goes smile

Agreed. That was just me putting a bunch of disparate information together that seem to have a connection. I have a theory rattling around in my head so I was looking for more information to prove or disprove it, if only to myself.
