We finally got the LEA to accept my DS6's evaluation as valid and are shortly moving on to the IEP phase. It took hours of research, tons of phone calls, uncomfortable looks from the staff, mulitple hoop jumps and many sleepless nights.... I'm just at the beginning and for me it's a definite YES!
Of course I'm coming from a state with some pretty strong mandates for gifted, so I feel like it will all pay off in the end. And I just keep in mind that I'm helping to create one more competent person in the world. We surely need more of those
