To answer a few questions,
We are about 3 hrs away from Colorado Springs so, unfortunately, their charter isn't an option, but thanks!
master of none, Actually, I do think that what you describe is pretty spot on for what's going on with dd. The psych who dx the ADD and anxiety disorder did write in her letter to the school that a 504 would make sense. The principal was unwilling and I didn't push it b/c I really don't think that the types of accommodations they could make, like extra time, would help her.
The GT coordinator tried some of those things last year informally before we tried any of our interventions and they really didn't make a difference. The thing w/ extra time is that dd tends to finish in plenty of time and has a hard time focusing for a long enough time to go back and review her work and find her errors.
