[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With that WISC, I don’t think FCPS is the right place for your child. Have you thought about Nysmith or Basis? I would really consider it, even though it would be hard financially.

Look into Virginia law, I believe they are legally required to provide gifted services for gifted children. There is no way your child is not profoundly gifted. [/quote]
Yea, I just realized how profoundly gifted he is after getting the score back. Looking to get more resources for him such as Davidson Institute for profoundly gifted and Mensa for kids.  Still processing this and preparing for the Appeal letter and work samples.  And will look into other options after the appeal process.  Will education lawyers even take on cases like this?  I know people score into 130 ish on WISC, education lawyers don’t take those cases.[/quote]

Honestly, it won't matter whether your kid gets into AAP or not.  FCPS cannot even come close to meeting your kid's needs.  Perhaps a very easygoing kid with that high of an IQ would be content to sit around teaching themselves in an AAP classroom, but it doesn't sound like your kid would fit that bill.  Have you considered homeschooling + AoPS classes + online gifted classes?

A lawyer will get you nowhere.  Virginia law doesn't specify what makes a kid gifted and in need of services.  Technically, if FCPS says that the kid isn't gifted, then legally he isn't.  Or, they can say that the LIII pull out is meeting their burden of providing gifted services.  [/quote]
