[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a huge difference between the school staff that says your child can learn nothing and the staff that thinks your child is of average intelligence.[/quote] Actually, it's similar. In a case where a child actually does have a genius IQ (again, not my kid) but the staff fails to recognize it and nurture it because of their preconceived notions about disabilities, what choice to the parents have but to step in and step up?[/quote] I'm a pp whose child with ASD has a genius IQ (from a full neuropsych exam including WISC). My child's IEP addresses his deficits which isn't academics and for the purposes of his IEP, his IQ is irrelevant. DS is only in first grade but we haven't found expectations to be diminished in any way due to his diagnosis. What you are talking about are schools not having adequate G&T programs for kids with high IQs, ALL kids not just SNs.[/quote]
