Beyond IDEA: Identifying Gifted Students For IEP or 504 Plans

Beyond IDEA: Identifying Gifted Students for IEP or 504 Plans

Saturday, November 11, 2023
10:30 AM – 11:00 AM East Coast USA Time
Location: Coronado P/Q
Determining the existence of a disability in gifted students requires practitioners to look beyond the reasonable benefit clause in IDEA. “Successful” gifted students may achieve as expected due to effective compensatory strategies until those strategies lose their efficacy as they grow up. In this session we walk through several of these cases and discuss their outcomes.

Learning Objectives:

  • Participants will understand how “reasonable benefit," “meaningful progress," and “special circumstances” apply when evaluating gifted students for special education
  • Participants will define and discuss elements comprising a comprehensive body of evidence required for evaluation purposes and for determination of eligibility for special education or 504
  • Participants will examine elementary-to-high school case studies
