[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a full slate of occasionallys in my kid's GBRS. My kid is pretty difficult and had a really hard time post-COVID. We referred him as a third grader (he didn't get in during second grade and we had him retake the cogat and provided a WISC from his neuropysch (he was tested for ADHD and actually ended up diagnosed with anxiety/depression).

Scores: COGAT -- 141 with all scores in the subsets between 136 and 148.
WISC 144, with a high of 158 verbal and lower scores in the other zones 130s.

What is difficult is his iready scores are low (25th percentile). His writing is terrible and he shuts down. We have spent the year working on getting him to keep working. He shuts down often in class.

I don't know what to do with this kid. He has needs academically, but he is not performing well. Someone mentioned the underachieving gifted child but that seems like such a cliche. I don't know what to do. Appeal?

Appeal.  It won't hurt and may help.  The underachieving gifted kid is not a cliche but unfortunately it can be impossible.  AAP may be a solution, or it may not.  Anxiety and depression is really hard.  Does he have a 504 or IEP? If not, have you asked for one?[/quote]
