How high was his score? I don't know if I would call DD PG, but her GAI was 150-155 (155 if you calculate extended norms). She has what I would consider fairly severe ADHD, in terms of how unfocused she gets when there are distractions, but does Ok in school (for the most part) medicated. I think without the medication it might be a disaster and she'd probably need an IEP and maybe an aide to try to keep her on task. She's 8.
I should add that a lot of the work she does in school is too easy, and she tends to tune out, but since she struggles with some things (like processing speed/writing) due to the 2e situation, that presents some challenge that other kids who are not 2e wouldn't have. So she says that she's bored sometimes and I really don't know how much she learns in school, but she enjoys going because of the social opportunities.
DS is a bit younger (7) and is 2e with motor challenges and weakness in verbal ability compared to non-verbal. He is esp. advanced with math, but the huge gaps that I've noticed throughout his development seem to be closing (he is becoming more "normal"). I am more worried about him than DD in terms of checking out of school and refusing to go at some point. His teacher is doing what she can in terms of giving him work at the right level but he keeps talking about school being dumb and a waste of time "All we do is sit around and listen to stuff I already know." He said today "Did you know I don't like school?" Yesterday he asked if I can home school him in the fall. I don't know how things are going to work out long term for him. He is the one with the IEP but I am actually worried more about DD's 2e situation at this point. She doesn't even have a 504 plan and we need to figure it out in the fall.
