Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Twice Exceptional a small punch in the gut

momosam, can you check in with the teacher for more clarity on what was in the book vs what was discussed in class? I wonder if part of what he might have been picking up on was just being different than a lot of his peers.

For the long term, I see a lot of positives here. Not only are they placing kids with disabilities into classes for part or all of the day, they are naming the disabilities and discussing them openly. For the long term, this can go a long ways to building compassion amongst all kids to honor differences. This will help your son as he works through his writing struggles pairs with his talents.
