[quote=Anonymous]My one issue in Arlington (I have two kids in APS elementary school) is that they don't have as much experience, or seem to know what to do with, a GT/LD kid. My son is dyslexic, and reading has been a challenge (which he's really overcoming, no beef with the SpEd program) but he also has a freakishly high IQ. It feels like the school decided that, because of his LD, not to focus on his other needs. I haven't pushed because, to be honest, he's so excited to be back in the regular classroom this year full time that I'm ok with him not being pulled out for gifted services, but I feel like every time I bring it up I get blank stares from the gifted teacher, like she has no clue what to do with a kid like mine. My sister, a teacher at a Fairfax County Gifted Center, sees kids like mine all the time, and I feel like he'd be served better in terms of being a 2e kid there.[/quote]
