Highly-Gifted and Below Grade-Level - 10/19/15 08:36 PM
Help! My nephew has a 156 IQ and he performs at and even below grade-level in his second grade NYC public school classroom. He often exhibits behavior problems and he seems depressed. He doesn't like school. The current plan is to work with an OT at the school.
Any recommendations? It breaks my heart to see him so sad. No one seems to think there is any possibility of challenging him, since he isn't a high achiever and doesn't tolerate difficulties well. All intervention seems targeted at his diagnosis of ADHD.
