It seems to me I read somewhere that even if they tell you in the SCT meeting that they won't do the educational evaluation, if you request the eval in writing they may have to under IDEA. Wrightslaw will know.
Here they won't put gifted services in the IEP (though we did some negotiating about it at the IEP meeting, and most of the same players were involved). Here you get a separate gifted plan, decided on at a separate meeting. But for our child (as likely for yours, Pipersmom) they do need to be planned together.
Hope the meeting goes well!
