[quote=Anonymous]I am a school psychologist in a Maryland County not MCPS, but I have kids there. Basically each state gets to decide whether they recognize gifted students for an IEP. Most states do not. Acceleration or formal gifted instruction typically does not occur in MCPS until 3rd grade (kids are tested for program in 2nd). Some schools may give a first grader acceleration in the form of pull out reading and math groups. You might have some luck asking for a 504 plan for your son, based on his ADHD diagnosis. A 504 plan is a legal document that lists the accommodations that the teacher or school staff must implement, such as preferential seating, limitations of distractions, help with organization, an extra set of books at home, etc. if your son's achievement fell below grade level (let's hope they do not), he might be eligible for an IEP due to the ADHD, which falls under the "Other health impairment" category. Good luck![/quote]
