Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy Looking for context

Yep. Of course he would have to wait to turn 6 to take the WISC. Ahhhh well. Hopefully not an issue.

Research the legal timeframe - for either your state or your school district (not all states and school districts have mandated gifted ed, so whether or not there is a guideline for timeframe will depend on where you are).

I suspect that what will happen is the teacher and gifted ed teacher will put together a draft IEP and then meet with you to discuss. They may present it as a "final" but you can absolutely give input toward it when you meet.

Still waiting on IDEP but he is now (a whole week ahead of the big deadline! :)) officially identified AIG.

As a result of nominating our son, another student has been nominated (the classroom teacher noticed they were both at a different level than the rest of the class) and both of them will receive some specific programming. Happy to see they are actually trying to nominate kids and also happy my son will have a peer in class going through this with him.

Those poor parents, though, they will now have to go through this same process with the AIG teacher.
