Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Twice Exceptional When the LDs are greater needs than giftedness.

I'd start by getting a complete evaluation from someone like Ed Amend who is familiar with 2E kids, and then using the results to get an accomodation plan in place under section 504 and get a gifted identification. If he is intellectually gifted, but his disabilities are interfering with his ability to access the gifted program, then legally he should be getting accomodations to enable him to access the program, such as a text-to-speech and speech-to-text software, or use of a scribe and/or a computer, instead of simply being placed at the level he can achieve at with his unaccommodated disability.
