Amber,
To be a successful advocate, you probably will come off as a pushy parent. Ask that he be tested and ask for what he needs. If you spend any time on here you will read lots of stories about people who not only had to push, but push hard and for extended periods.
The key to success is knowing the law in your state, and knowledge about the educational needs of gifted kids. It can be done but in most cases it really is "the squeaky wheel" that gets results.
My son is grade skipped 4 years with further acceleration in math. This is a state that has nothing in place to take care of GT kids. So hang in, be pushy and vent right here any time you need to!
