[quote=Anonymous]"The United States currently has NO federal law mandating the education of gifted children. Weather and how these students receive services in their local schools is dependent on state law and local policies and practices. More than 30 states mandate identification and/or services for gifted students, although there is a wide variability on policies regarding student identification, provision of gifted program services, teacher training, and other areas crucial to ensuring high quality gifted education."  In a HUGE majority of states in the U.S. EVERY student in the "gifted and talented" program receives an IEP because these programs usually fall under Special Education Services. In these states and school districts the student HAS to with NO exception have a minimum qualifying IQ score, typically 130.  All the current and future AAP students in Fairfax County who do not have the minimum IQ score would not qualify for these programs.  From reading these boards there certainly seems to be a lot of students who would not qualify for placement in the standard "gifted and talented" program.  It is expected and common knowledge that there will be "twice gifted" students in every "gifted and talented" type program in the U.S.. [/quote]
