    Leyla, I'm glad you met with the teacher and got some answers. I hate those new 1-4 reports because I am never sure what they mean, and on top of that, our conference now are "student goal setting" conferences, which I find to be completely useless to me as a parent.

    Granted, I didn't talk to your ped, but I'm a little skeptical of the apparent reasoning. My daughter is the world's most ADHD child and that hasn't stopped her from qualifying or being intently involved in activities she likes. Just saying, unless your pediatrician has actual expertise with ADD/ADHD or 2E kids, I would take that particular opinion with a grain of salt, keep my eyes peeled, and if there are further concerns, see someone who really has some expertise in this area.

    Good point Aufilia. DD has a yearly checkup next month and I will definitely bring it up again to our pediatrician. Do you have any doctor recommendation around Eastside?

    We used Elizabeth Smith for neuropsych testing. She may be more than you need, and she has a long waiting list, but you could try contacting her. Her office is in downtown Bellevue. She definitely "gets" gifted kids, and she had a great rapport with both of mine.
