[quote=Anonymous]OP, the term you are looking for is 2E/LD. Twice exceptional with learning disabilties. I am a former charter/DCPS teacher. I taught in both systems for 3 years before moving to the suburbs. Here are a few books that were assigned to teachers for professional development for GT and 2e students. They are mostly geared towards teachers but as a parent take off your parent hat to really ask if your child exhibits these characteristics. I can't speak for DCPS or the charter world anymore because their systems change so quickly but I recall DCPS and charters biggest focus was closing the achievement gap and learning a second language.

Twice-Exceptional Gifted Children: Understanding, Teaching, and Counseling Gifted Students by Beverly Trail, Ed.D
Uniquely Gifted: Identifying and Meeting the Needs of the Twice-Exceptional Student by Kiesa Kay 
Different Minds: Gifted Children with AD/HD, Asperger Syndrome, and Other Learning Deficits by Deidre V Lovekey

Best wishes,

I also suggest that you get your child independently tested at either Johns Hopkins or George Mason so that you have actual data to back up your claims. There is nothing worse than ill-informed parents fighting for something without documented evidence. [/quote]
