[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have experience with a child like this who has been in the AAP program?[/quote]

My DC has a 504 for focus/distraction issues associated with ADHD and is doing very well in the AAP center. I believe Mantua has their AAP Orientation on Monday. You may want to ask one of the teachers about how their AAP programs works with [b]twice exceptional students[/b]. I have friends that have had 2e kids in the Mantua AAP Center say good things about the staff support of 504s and IEPs.[/quote]

I don't think entrance to AAP qualifies as "exceptional" in FFX. Seems pretty common. 504s seems pretty common too. So what's with the "twice exceptional" language? The word exceptional, besides meaning outside the norm, also means "above average" so, again, doesn't really seem to apply since having a SN just makes a child different, not more highly intelligent.

Is "twice exceptional" something you came up with or is that some weird feel-good language in the curriculum?[/quote]

You are such an idiot.  Correction . . You are such an effing idiot.

This term has been used for quite some time to describe children who have gifted intelligence as well as special needs, such as my own child. I'm appalled that you would call it "weird feel-good language." You are really a rude person.[/quote]
