Traits often associated with genius include strong individuality, imagination, uniqueness, and innovative drive

Any ideas would be appreciated

You don’t become a genius, you either are or you are not.

Reading books and watching educational TV shows may help a little, but I doubt the Internet is going to do much in terms of raising IQ significantly.

This is a child that is very bright, average to superior scores in psycho-educational evaluations; but because of his two main problems: Impulsive Distractive Behavior and Oppositional non compliant and aggressive behaviors, he is constantly causing problems in class. He is already in a 504 plan, but is not working at all. Do any one knows a case like this that has been classified and is receiving SPED services. I’m talking about a more restrictive environment due to social emotional condition, eventhough he is gifted?

First of all, the only way this student can get a more restrictive environment is if he is found to have a disability…and from the description above it sounds like the only disability he may qualify for is an Emotional Disability. However, to be considered emotionally disabled, you must have trouble in school–the work, expectations, etc–that can’t be described by a low IQ (which is a sign of mental retardation) or by a specific learning disability. You will have to have a meeting with your multi-disciplinarian team (gen ed teacher, sped teacher, school rep–usually principal/vp, and parent–also student if old enough) and decide whether or not you can implement strategies within the general ed classroom to change behaviors. If this doesn’t work, the team can decide whether or not the student should be tested for an Emotional Disability (must have parent’s permission). If the student does test for one, the team will then decide whether or not they need a more restrictive environment.
REMEMBER
Students can have a disability and be gifted at the same time. Students always, always have strengths as well as weaknesses.
