[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry for gate-crashing your post, OP, I'm interested as well. 
In the perhaps improbable scenario where DS is accepted to an HGC, I'm afraid his diagnosed ADD and executive dysfunction will hinder him.

Are there classroom aides and do they willingly give accommodations to HGC students?

To OP, my son has an IEP at school and receives speech therapy, particular attention from the classroom aide, as well as a front seat in the class and typing help. A private evaluation for ADHD was the trigger for all these accommodations he receives. If you are worried about impact on academic progress, I would first ask your ped for references to evaluate your son. Then go from there with the school.

My child has a 504 for adhd and anxiety.  We had Marisa Stemple come to the 504 meeting at the home school.  
Looking at his report, she felt the Hgc might be a good fit for him.

It turns out to be a good fit.  If the discrepancies 
On the report were greater/or we had an iep, we would have looked into Barnsley's gt/ld program.

Some kids go on from barnsley's gtld into the middle school magnets and some Hgc go into the middle
school gtld so there is some crossover.
