DD7 just had a WISC-IV to confirm what we suspected: 2-e. GAI of 154 and what appears to be dysgraphia. She also has ADHD hyperactive type and sensory processing disorder.
She's reading at a 1st grade level and her math is slightly higher.
I called the district's special education main office for some background before writing the IEP request with our DD's school. We are in a big district. We want access to a "non-public" school for ADHD/LD students that will accommodate gifted students.
Over the phone, the special education district representative said they will accommodate the gap between cognitive ability and performance. The WISC-IV showed a gap of 50 points. (I can't remember how many standard deviations that was, but it raised our testing psychologist's eyebrows. He felt certain DD could get an IEP.)
Any wording advice would be greatly appreciated. I've heard so many people say "you have to use a lawyer" that I really need to know if this has been true for most here.
