Juan Said:

How can I and this family get the resources they need from the school district?

We Answered:

This is a violation of ADA and 504 (in the US)

GT doesn't really fall under special ed--but some states do include it. it is usually a separate program.

The children should be allowed to enroll in any advanced classes available-most likely with a 504 plan that can include speech therapy and assistive devices for communication or sign language if needed...including an interpreter.

This could be included in special ed (the accommodations) under the other health impaired or communication disability category, but being that they only need accommodations, a 504 plan would be appropriate.

The parents can file a complaint with the government, but the government is generally unresponsive

start by looking up the state Protection and Advocacy office

also the state department of education
.
and the federal education office

A child could have both a disability And be in the Gifted Program.

The can still be in the GT program even if they have an IEP for a disability or a 504 plan.
