thanks for the thoughts! I'm really coming up with nothing here...it's quite frustrating to interview people who just dodge every angle I can come up with to assess their attitudes toward giftedness and the problems that come along with it. I really do want a knowledgeable, trustable person, and I don't understand why that's so hard to find here, of all places. So I'll have to start calling places and begging for help, I guess. I didn't know of the academic skills clinic, kcab, so thank you! Hi, sydness - nice to 'meet' you! I've got a six-year-old, too - and a three, but boys.
