Re: Suggestions for gifted student

What a nice post - this child is clearly in good hands with
you. And he has a full-time aide?
Tell him that you don't want him to feel apart from the class
even though his special abilities do make his learning needs
different. Explain to him what you've explained to us.

then let him say when he feels isolated but my guess would be
with his aide and your good explanation, he won't feel
isolated and he and his parents alike will feel very
fortunate that he's got such a caring and dedicated teacher
as you clearly are.
