[quote=Anonymous]You can push a public school to meet gifted/SN on an IEP, but I've had mixed results in doing so. They're often not capable of dealing. On the other hand, they are required by law to at least try to deal with the kids' needs. Private schools aren't even required to try. Our private school experience was a disaster. Hang in there, OP.Both of my gifted/SN kids are now in middle school, and middle school is much better able to meet their needs than the elementary schools were. The kids have flexibility in classwork (high honors classes for both of them) but still have the access to counselors and speech therapists and classroom aids as needed. The increased variety of extra-curriculars (robotics and drama, choir and band) also made my kids lives better. There were more smart kids who were interested in the things that they like. Middle school has been a much better fit for both of them. [/quote]
