Well, they told me that they don't allow any children in the gifted program who have behavior issues. They also said that there is a checklist of things the kids need to have other than high IQ including high leadership ability and high maturity/social skills to be included in the gifted program. They said that a socially/emotionally immature child like my son would not qualify for gifted programming because it is not determined by just IQ.
Of course, that's illegal: discrimination due to disability.

Once DS shows his colors with regard to math, I am betting the attentive teacher will see what the needs are, and try to meet them somehow.
