Depending on your state laws, you may or may not be able to get something added to his IEP about serviced for giftedness, and they may or may not actually be required to do anything to meet his needs in that area. We have a line in ours that says DD should be given work that challenges her at her level, but it has yet to actually HAPPEN.Â

A child can be gifted in one area of an IQ test (verbal or non-verbal). Â It's also common for gifted kids to have average processing speeds.
Â
I would highly recommend the Misdiagnosis/Dual Diagnosis book by Webb, here with preview!!
http://books.google.ca/books?id=NQrtt-peg5AC&printsec=frontcover&dq=misdiagnosis+gifted&hl=en&sa=X&ei=xkUiT4yKKILr0gH6yLHWCA&ved=0CDgQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=misdiagnosis%20gifted&f=false
Â
Also, Bright Not Broken (very interesting read!):
Â
If you like super details, The Mislabeled Child is also very good.
Â
This diagnostic process stuff is pretty complicated and it's worth getting to know some of the lingo and about how gifted kids can present and be dually diagnosed. Â We've been through the ringer trying to get diagnostic accuracy with DS and I've found that it can really depend on who's doing the diagnosing.
Â
This is also interesting stuff:

Hoagies' Gifted: IEPs

Depending on your state laws, you may or may not be able to get something added to his IEP about serviced for giftedness, and they may or may not actually be required to do anything to meet his needs in that area. We have a line in ours that says DD should be given work that challenges her at her level, but it has yet to actually HAPPEN.Â

When Teachers Won't Provide Accommodations in the IEP
Â
Effective IEP goals need to be specific and measurable; if there is literally only a line about about this in her IEP that's probably where the problem starts.
Â
Wrightslaw talks about IEP goal in their advocacy book and they also have a book specifically about writing IEPs.

You guys are just the best!! I am slowly working through all the information that you guys are sending my way. I am a bit overwhelmed with the amount of stuff I need to learn to navigate through all of this and really appreciate the help. It feels great though to feel like progress is being made on finding out what is going on with him. The IQ stuff answered thousands of questions for us, but caused a million new ones to pop up :)
