Holy Cow.... I'd take a late night of postings with Dr. Ruff over a night out with (insert star of choice). Losing our Minds brought us the bit of sanity we needed to find a voice for advocacy. That "it" wasn't just in our heads. What a treat. God bless you for the work, the research, you've done to advance this area.

HEY! Did you guys see that Dr. Ruf is doing a webinar through OGTOC?
Gifted Online Conferences site - at least one of them...

I'm still slowly listening my way through the webinar on advocacy that happened last week - I keep getting interrupted! But, might need to join this one in real-time.

Someone please become our (my) liaison through my real email address because I cannot keep jumping in here (I have no self-control when it comes to this stuff; I love it!) Contact me through my assistants at dr.ruf@educationaloptions.com if you want to participate in the Levels online beta test.

It's been a pleasure.

Deborah Ruf



Has anyone heard more about the Levels online beta test? Did I miss out?

I volunteered, but I haven't heard anything yet. Maybe it's just not ready?

I think she is still working on it. I suspect she will find many a volunteer from this board to test it. PM her if you are interested.

As I am forever the pincher of pennies, I just ordered Ruf's "5-Levels" from Amazon for $16.47 (34% off) and, because I needed another book anyhow, I also got free shipping.

Hello, I have volunteered to assist Dr. Ruf.

I have just received some information from Dr. Ruf about the new online “screening” for intellectual levels.

Dr. Ruf’s assistant Kathy will be directly contacting those who have volunteered to be beta tested.

The testing will be limited to people who have already been tested. This is being done in order to validate the tools effectiveness.

The tool, once it becomes available will be very inexpensive.

The goal is to give parents a head start on learning all that they can about what their children need so they don’t waste precious time once school starts.

Another goal is to give families a tool to get the schools to sit up and take notice and be aware that kids enter school gifted.

Presently there are enough volunteers.

For those who wish to keep up on the product development, you can sign-up for the free e-newsletter that comes out monthly via email. Simply go to the DITD website and sign up. http://news.ditd.org/signup/eNews_SignUp.html

What does it mean already been tested? Does that mean she tested these children before? Has she already told the people they are getting to participate? I emailed her my interest already. My DS9 was given the WWJ III test - does that qualify?
