[quote=Anonymous]DC has ADHD and high IQ. The ADHD symptoms are better now, but earlier ES challenges caused enough of an academic slide that DC has just caught up to grade-level expectations. Above average in math, and extremely knowledgeable on all things science, but reading and writing are average. Is LCPS's gifted program worth pursuing? DC placed in the evaluation pool. Seems like DC would need a gifted program based on cognitive ability, but would that be a mistake based on the fact that DC is not academically advanced in all areas? Would it be better to stick with the gen ed classes and see if they can provide differentiation in STEM subject areas? Or just supplement at home in those areas? Are there other kids in the gifted program who have ADHD, or will DC stand out?[/quote]
