Thanks Dottie. We did hear from the psychologist that if his intelligence were exacerbating the ADHD and Anxiety symptoms, which we believe it is and that research supports, that we could push for classroom modifications in the course of the 504 or IEP to discourage behavioral issues and increase concentration (ie: adjustments to curriculum to keep him engaged).
We've had very little luck working individually with teachers. They always reference after school clubs as "enrichment" and do not seem to recognize that curriculum needs to be enriched. Or, they add extra workbook pages when my kids are bored and think that is sufficient. : )
In GT friendly states, what would GT kids of his IQ receive in pull out services? Just curious... Would anything change in the classroom? While I think he would do very well given his natural abilities, grade skipping is not something we are going to pursue given his emotional "youngness" related to the ADHD/Anxiety. Nor, do I think it is necessary in his case...
Lastly, is their any articles or books that any one would recommend to assist us is helping teachers recognize what a gifted child looks like in the classroom and/or needs?
Thanks!!
