I like the idea that my kid has "special education needs," which i think came from grinity.
This term makes the most sense to me anyway, but in Public Schools it is as if gifted and special ed are polar opposites. There are a lot of parents that still struggle with their schools in reference to their 2E child. If the child is classified as gifted they can not be also included in the Special Ed department. Makes me scratch my head. So logically it makes sense but realistically the schools would never allow that label to be used for both ends of the spectrum.
