[quote=Anonymous] I have a gifted and learning disabled child, and caution you that gifts are sometimes very well hidden! My son was delayed and below grade level for many skills in elementary school, but I always knew he had an unusual intellectual curiosity and reasoning capacities. However my son's abilities were practically invisible in a school setting: every year his teachers considered him mentally slow until the end of year meeting (IEP meeting) when they would say in a surprised voice: "Actually, Mrs X, your son knows a lot / is quite intelligent / thinks deeply!" As if they were imparting news nobody else suspected. The full neuropsychological evaluation we did in his 5th grade year confirmed everything, and we were able to place DC in a GT/LD program for middle school, where he is thriving. So, a word to the wise - do the right evaluation and sit tight until you get the results. [/quote]
