Oh dear......sounds like a really difficult time. I'm so sorry.

My suggestion to you is to read up on the federal laws regulating IEP's etc. I do not believe your sons' school can arbitrarily tell you that he is too bright...yadda yadda yadda....you have every legal right to have him tested not only at school but outside of school and use the combination of the two to define an educational package for him.

First and foremost KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!

It may be determined that your son does not need an IEP but possibly a 504 plan. That is a plan that helps your son with specific issues within the classroom and homework that may be tweaked for his benefit. He will still have to do specific classwork but may be tweaked to give him the extra support he needs to accomplish his work.

If you would like me to help you with some research on this, shoot me a pm and we can discuss in private if you like.
