She's the piano teacher? Well, she's not really an expert on GT ed then, is she!
I assume you know that she's full of it, right? Nothing but long-term neglect of the gifts can "cancel out" giftedness. What you said about 2E making it harder to see the giftedness is on target, and 2E can make it harder for non-experts to know how to teach a gifted child. But to say that "disability cancels out giftedness" is wrong, simplistic, and dangerous, IMHO.
Sorry about that little rant, but stuff like that really makes me angry!
My only answer to your question isn't going to be very helpful, and I'm certainly no expert on 2E issues. But I do know that as hard as it is to accurately test the intelligence of any of the non-2E HG+ kids, it's even harder to test those who are 2E. The right test, the right tester...it can be done about as well as it can be done for any of the kids...which is really badly!
I'm sorry I'm not more help.
So, if I may ask: How did you respond to the piano teacher? Did you correct her? Let it go? How did you handle it?
