Gifted Education Mandates, by state or province
Which U.S. states and other countries have gifted education mandates?
Which mandate IEP's for our gifted children? Does my state offer an early
college entrance option? Where can I get more information on the laws in my
state or province? This table answers those basic Gifted Education questions, as
best we know...
This page, like state laws, is constantly changing, and I need your
help. If you know the current answers to these questions for your state or
province, or any area outside the U.S. or Canada, please contact me at the
address above. Thanks!
