2e children.
I have a 2e child diagnosed at age 7 on the recommendation of her school. She is in the gifted range with SPD and handwriting issue.
A good portion of gifted kids do mask and cruise until requirements exceed their abilities, then they crash; so it is best to be pro-active and get them the help they need now. From my understanding, most local school has in-house dyslexia support program, you may want to inquiry with your DS’s school.
My DD is now 9 so she hasn’t taken the GEP screening tests, so do take what I say about GEP with a pinch of salt. From my research, your DS should enjoy being in the program. The program allows the child the freedom to learn deeply and widely about a topic/subject that the current/normal curriculum doesn’t. Since that’s how a gifted child learns best, he should enjoy being in the program. However do note they don’t do curriculum acceleration.
Hope this helps.
