Thank you for you reply. Nice to meet another K!2 family. This is our first year (2nd grade).
We are moving very fast through some things, but the AS makes math tough sledding as automaticity is difficult with the slowed processing speed. Give him history, maps, social studies and he will blow you out of the water. Reading is accelerating really fast since his vision therapy and reading glasses. He jumped more than a grade level in the last 2 months. What I am looking for is the opportunities for the extra classes with other kids like him and just to see what they can offer besides compacting.
Also, he may re-enter public school at some point (I hope not!) and being identified formally as 2e will help make sure he gets his special needs met on both ends if he returns.
