My son is a twice exceptional student. He has ADHD and Dysgraphia.<\/p>\n<p>By 5th grade he wound up in an ICT class again, but not as a special education student. As a general education student with the laptop accommodation. It&#8217;s his only accommodation left really, and one that I imagine he&#8217;ll need life long. He did better then fine in a regular general education classroom, he&#8217;s bored. &nbsp; I want him in honors for middle school. I want him challenged, now that the challenge of not being able to hand write is virtually gone and his confidence is where it should be.<\/p>\n<p>When his middle school told me he&#8217;d need to drop some services to take honors classes I was shocked.&nbsp; It wound up being a clerical error. It is all cleared up now, and he will be honors classes in the fall.<\/p>\n<p>We are lucky he seemed to have &#8220;outgrown&#8221; ADHD. We are lucky that his other learning disability is dysgraphia, and it&#8217;s fairly easy to get around in the digital age. He&#8217;s bright. He has the IQ score to prove it. Despite the enriched and advanced work the teacher gives his group in class, he is not being challenged and he&#8217;s bored.<\/p>\n<p>By not leaving an option for other twice exceptional kids like him, isn&#8217;t the middle school in violation? It&#8217;s luck his learning disability is what it is and he can be in honors. There must be others who are not that lucky.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TL:&nbsp; My sons new middle school for next year announced that they do not have inclusion (called ICT classes here in NYC) honors classes for the next school year.
