way less to no issues in academic classes with much older gifted kids through our gifted homeschoolers group..... And still, we had to drop countless gymnastics classes, swimming, ballet, piano, and art, because the teacher/coach complained
I don't think that there is going to be many people - parents or professionals who are going to be able to advise you, because even in Davidson, there are relatively few kids who are like her.
But - imagine those 'much older gifted kids in your gifted homeschoolers group' going to those gymnastics,swimming,ballet,piano and art classes. Would they have made it? Even if they were able to 'behave' would they really thrive in those places? I would try and see if you can get those important extracurricular activities 1-1 with a mentor who can see past her birth certificate, or with the older gifted kids she gets along well with at her group.
Do more of what she likes and less of what isn't geered to meet her needs. Congradulations on getting her into YSP, join their 2E elist and ask the same question there, and request your family consultant to put you in touch with other parents of kids who are similar in LOG, activity level and physical grace, and possible ADHDness. Also ask if you can get a phone consult with Dr. Ruf, who 'gets' active, high LOG kids.
Having a lable isn't as important as having a plan, yes?
Hugs and Happy Dance,
