Update: Yesterday we took DD to see a psychologist, partly to get some other ideas about what we can do to advocate for her, but mostly to help her deal with all the emotional explosions she keeps having as a result of what she sees as a rejection of her needs by the school.

Our "Wha-wha-wha-what?!" moment came when the psychologist suggested that an all-day gifted program would suit her needs, which is offered by other schools in the district. Looks like it's time to start arguing for an intra-district transfer.
