I am really glad everything worked out! My DD is advanced in history and science, it can be challenging to get the school to make accomodations for those subjects.
We remediate my DD's spelling at home. She now homeschools full time because don't have gifted laws and once she moved to the middle school there weren't any accomodations for GT available at her level. She always aced the pretests and rarely missed a spelling word until we hit a wall about 5th/6th grade. That is when we figured out she was just memorizing everything be it at school or things she found in her reading (lots of nonfiction).
While she was in school she had accomodations for writing, she used a computer for lengthy assignments (she attended part time under a dual enrollment). Yes, she has very high comprehension. I go this week to get her latest WISC/WIAT results but when she was tested in 3rd grade it was high school level. She struggles more with some of the fiction, especially inference meaning, but she is 2E, with Aspergers, so that is par for the course.
