[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you 8:19 for the kind and sensitive thoughts regarding 2e kids.  It still hurts when an ignorant poster implies that "learning disability" goes hand-in-hand with intellectual dimness, and it's nice to hear someone express that maybe AAP is an option even for a child like mine (very high IQ, struggling due to learning differences).  Thank you for making my day a bit brighter.[/quote]

I guess there are different types of learning disabilities. 
Some may still do well in AAP.  It may not be proper for some.

If you look at the GBRS categories, the first one they look at is 'Exceptional Ability to Learn'.
Some of the sub items are 'Learns and adapts readily to new cultures', 'Learns quickly and easily', 'Explores, researches, questions topics, ideas, issues independently', 'Shows initiative, self-direction, and/or high level of confidence'.

Kids with LD are usually opposite of these characters, but each kid is different. 
So some may still do well, some may not.
