there are many 2e kids in the program and he would do well in it
There is typically a cut-score for entry into a program. Do your school policies mention what the minimum qualifying score is? An FSIQ of 127 or a GAI of 127 may not be considered "gifted"; often that is 130+ or 132+, although your school's program may use different numbers, relative to its population's overall scores.
2e or
twice exceptional means both
gifted and with a
disability (including a learning disability). If your child is not gifted then his/her learning disability does not get a label of 2e.
Unfortunately, many children's scores may fall just short of qualifying for any given program. As long as schools have quotas and maximum numbers of pupils that they choose to serve in any given program, some students will have their needs unmet. This approach is sometimes called "matching a
child to the program." Needs may be better met by matching a
program to the child; providing opportunities appropriate for the growth of each child.
You might want to keep a record of the tests your child has taken, and consider re-testing at some point in the future.
