1) Go to Google Maps
2) Search for: top gifted psychologists
3) scrool down to 'user created content'
4) check the box next to 'user created content' and search
Here's a draft of my mental map of where are the resources for testing 'more than the usually gifted'
Please check my links and make sure that they are still current!
Please let me know if any of these people pissed you off (Privatly)
Please help me find the 'final 5' - I'm short!
Please help me find a link that takes one directly to this page.
Please when you get tested, post here and let the others know what you thought.
I'm looking for testers who
a) get highly gifted kids
b) can talk to parents in a helpful way
c) can answer the questions you came in with
d) can give you guidance about the 'least - worst' eductional options.

Ok, I worked on this some more, and found a way to make a prettier link to my draft list, which, BTW, use at your own risk. I'm posting this so we can improve it! http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=U...5059822090.000461ba927f03f403bed&z=4Love and More Love, Grinity

I know Aimee Yermish and think she is brilliant and amazing. But I do want people to know that she is still working on her advanced credentials and cannot officially diagnose if there is a 2e condition. I'm also not sure if she is able to take insurance.
I'd recommend that you add the Gifted Resource center in RI, and Nadia Webb, who I believe is now in Louisiana?

Grinity ... thanks so much for working on this. What a great resource this will become!
Now for my selfish reason for posting to this. Is there any in Texas that anyone knows that is high up the rankings? I realize they might not be in the top 10 but would be looking for one that is great with highly gifted children.

another thanks to you, Grinity! What a great idea.
How about anyone in the Pacific Northwest who doesn't specialize in 2E? There is one site listed, but they are WAAAAAY too much $$$ for what we need...
much love to YOU, Grins

Dr. David Welsh
Fort Worth Tx
The owner of our past montessori school refered us to him last year. We came back to see him again this year and decided that we would listen to what he was telling us. We did and with everyones support Admin., Teachers, Dr. Welsh, and Owners of the two schools we made a change last week. Amazingly we found DD7's people. We didn't belive that DD7 would fit in but she does in her own mind blowing way.
He is deeply respected throught out the schools in our area. Our privite schools go through him before concidering application. He also has written The Child that Burned To Brightly.
Although I'm new to all this recovering from denile and all, Hope this helps.

Elizabeth Mika - Gurnee, IL
(north of Chicago)
She is amazing with highly gifted kids (and has one of her own, and really understands them). Friendly, great rapport with kids, and has a lot of knowledge and insight into educational options for HG/PG kids. She is thoughtful and intuitive, and I cannot recommend her highly enough!
