Thank you for the response. I think I have a reason for both 1&2. There may not be a program or resource available for 1, but it�s a small and supportive school that if I had strong enough evidence then more opportunities may be added. There are also G&T programs he would qualify for based on NWEA at the public school. I have also considered homeschooling until he�s mature enough to sit in higher level classes. Right now he�s back to doing less then 20 addition and subtraction when we were doing multiple digit with regrouping and multiplication last year. I�m already concerned about this upcoming NWEA because he�s not learned anything new since the last time he took it. I am starting to supplement at home. Similarly for #2, he was already screened for ASD, could possibly have ADHD that affects impulse control and social skills, but if more clearly �gifted� I believe it would give us some direction on where to focus social skill building�through some online classes, interest based social groups, etc. He has also experienced a couple upsetting encounters in school already with situations that have triggered his strong sense of fairness and justice (he being punished because the rest of the class was misbehaving when he wasn�t, given permission by one teacher to do something but scolded by another for doing it). I think it�s best to do the detailed analysis with the state specialists even if it will take a while to set up. Thanks again.
