blackcat..we are in the same boat. 10yr 2e DD w/adhd. Except my DD's teacher said all she needed was some tutoring, of which we are paying for ourselves. I can pay a tutor for 20 years and I guarantee it won't make a difference on her writing but I can show the district that I am at least trying. Your comment about the schools not understanding 2e kids is spot on. The tutor we are using is a gifted class teacher at DD's school. When asked how many twice exceptional kids she had in her class, she didn't even now what the term meant. I explained to her and she said "I don't know if I have any". frown Can't offer suggestions, just camaraderie in this same ship we are in.
