A GT teacher of thirty years' tenure at our elementary noted that she had never been to an IEP meeting (until ours).
The Process Coordinator at DS' school told me they have "almost never" had a child with an IEP in the program.
Since selection for the program is based almost entirely upon GAI from WISC-IV, it's difficult to believe there's not been another child who needed one, whether or not the data from this article is accurate. No matter what statistics are used, wouldn't there be more than JUST MY SON with 120-ish students (grades 6-8)enrolled each year?
