Starman, let your child be evaluated but don't let the school railroad you. If your child does need the support services allow him to get what he needs. The ed label is so tricky, because when a child needs the services they REALLY need them, but it may also be a way for an out of the box child to be unnecessarily branded. Read all the idea rights carefully -- if your state has gifted IEP's and there really is something there it could be the secondary exceptionality. There are three year re-valuations as well.
