Hi,
Our Elementary SchoolGuidance Counselor told me that the District Psychologist will use Stanford-Binet when testing... 2nd-graders who've been identified by OLSAT are not being individually screened till the beginning of next year (3rd grade is when the gifted "pull-out" program officially begins)...
So, we have some time to relax, try some projects at home, and
become more educated about GT advocacy... Apparently in our district it's best to be identified early because it becomes more difficult as they get older (according to my neighbor whose daughter went through the program).
My neighbor said the best thing about participating in the GT program here was being able to have a say in the IEP (that the IEP became more useful as her daughter got older, and having unput was important...)
All for now,
thanks for suggestions,
