[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP.  By contrast, I have a student at a MS magnet w/ an IEP.  DC is doing very well there.  It is a bit of a struggle to get consistent accommodations; it seems like there is always 1 teacher a year who refuses and we have to sort it out by complaining.  But, education is worth it.  More challenging and interesting than regular classes.

I encouage kids with 504s and IEPs to apply, write specifically about wanting the challenge despite disability, and appeal if denied.  Gifted and disabled kids have the right to have equal access to all the same advanced curriculum options as other non-disabled peers and they have a right to receive accommodations and special instruction in advanced programs.

I agree 100%! DC is in a middle school magnet with an IEP. DC is in advanced classes and is supported through his IEP. I also encourage GTLD student to apply to magnets. It upsets me when I hear that the GTLD schools really do not provide enrichment so how on earth is that a "gifted and talented" program??[/quote]
