Do you think having IEP (speech therapy) has any effect on HGC acceptance? Does anyone have any experience or knowledge? Thanks.

No, I don't think it has any effect at all, particularly not if it's for speech.

My DC has an IEP for speech and is in the HGC.

Not an issue at all.

Let's just be clear. They can't discriminate against your child because he/she gets accommodations to which he/she is legally entitled. It should make no difference whatsoever.

As a practical matter, it helps the school that houses the HGC improve their SPED performance numbers, so it could be an dvantage.
