I am happy to hear that you are finding some answers.
I just found the following statement in an article on Dual Exceptionalities in a resource guide:
http://www.doe.state.in.us/exceptional/gt/pdf/IAGResourceGuide.pdf "In order for these children to reach their potential, it is imperative that their intellectual strengths be recognized and nurtured, at the same time as their disability is accommodated appropriately." A first grade teacher and mom of gifted kids who was working on her master's in special ed and who was the first person to tell me that she thought my son was highly gifted, said something like this and added that it was my duty as a parent to see that he got an appropriate education and that it would not happen in our public school and I would need to homeschool--even though I had no clue how to teach a child that learned very differently from me and had motor issues to deal with on top of that.
I have borrowed this military motto and find it helpful as I try to facilitate my son's learning:
Improvise, Adapt and Overcome
