I agree with the PP about getting outside testing done. It will give you and the school a clearer picture. I wouldn't do it with the school psych as they are not really qualified to test gifted children. Most of them also only have a bachelors!
We got our DS7 tested outside and it only cost us about $300. Not sure where the other poster got $1000? This is from a very well respected psychologist who specializes in gifted children. She's even written a book about it. Maybe the PP was also including ADHD and or asd tests with a neuropsych? That would cost thousands!
Good luck. I'm happy at least the school is being somewhat accommodating. My sons previous school refused to do anything with his giftedness so we are now in private. Not perfect but better.....so far.
