Welcome!
You've received great info above. Here is another wonderful nugget of wisdom from Platypus101, from an old post:

Typically, in the US,
gifted services may be provided/funded separately from
support services for learning disability and/or learning differences, which would be mandated under special ed... although ideally both of these services would be coordinated to provide a positive academic experience for the child.
You may have already read the information at these links, but for convenience here is a brief roundup on the second "e" in "2e" (twice exceptional)... the learning disability/difference or special ed side which may exist in a gifted child's intellectual profile:
