Oh ya Mum & tjm, we did the na na dance! How many of us out there have had similar frustrations? We KNOW our kids and its so maddening sometimes to deal with the school system when they don't see what we see in our childern. Having the numbers really validates what we knew all along. The DAS II is one of the three IQ tests Davidson Academy accepts (also SB-5 and WISC IV) for admission and our tester is one of the psych consulatants for DA. The DAS II seems to be well suited for kids stronger in the nonverbal but doesn't seem to be as well-known as the other IQ tests. Guess it really IS important to find a private tester with knowledge about gifted testing and find the test that will show your DCs strengths.
