GIFTED EDUCATION
Helping Your Highly Gifted Child Develop Her/His Potential
• Rely on your intuition: If your child spoke, read, wrote, or did math problems at an early age, encourage enrichment & acceleration
• Find a circle of friends & families which is supportive of nurturing giftedness
• Contact your local parent-and-me, pre-school, school district, or gifted association & ask about programs for the gifted
• Your child may be developing her/his intellectual gifts unevenly: after age 3, ask the school district to assess your child for giftedness & to screen for any disabilities which might adversely affect your child's educational performance
What are My Child’s Legal Rights?
• Is your child 0 to 21?
• Does your child have a disability that adversely affects her/ his ability to learn in a general education classroom?
• Determine if your child is eligible for gifted programs &/or special education through a nondiscriminatory evaluation by your local school district
Your child may be protected under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), §504 of the Rehabilitation Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), or the Tech Act.
If your child is eligible for special education under the IDEA, then s/he is legally entitled to a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE), in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE), developed through an Individualized Education Program (IEP); you may have the right to sue your local school district in court (due process), if an appropriate, individualized education is not being provided to your child.
