So the IEP went well enough. All of his accommodations will stay in place, and we added a couple more to deal with the state-mandated testing with exhausts him due to all the reading, bubble-filling, and short answers. He will have a reader/scribe for the testing, so that should help.
The math teacher was the only teacher who showed up. She says he gets most of the concepts easily but is needing almost one-on-one help for their current work on angles, symmetry, etc. He just doesn't see it. She also says when he gets stuck on a question, he just sits and won't move on. When I asked him about it, he says he is trying to ask himself the question different ways to see if he can understand what the words are asking him to do. I'm not sure if he's over-thinking it or not deciphering correctly. We'll have to see.
His social studies teacher recommended him for gifted social studies next year, so we'll be pursuing qualifications for that.
The special Ed chair recommended that the first step be to request a review of the determinations made on the last testing to see of we can get an override without new testing. That is very encouraging.
Thanks again for all the help!
