My daughter is currently in the 4th grade and is extremely bright per her teachers. She often expresses frustration about not being challenged enough. This has been a common complaint since 1st grade. We finally listened to her and had her tested with the Johns Hopkins program. She tested very well verbally and is now enrolled in the reading program for gifted children. She just recently tested in school at a post high school level with the Gates Reading Vocabulary test. My husband and I have been in touch with the pediatrician and now are just thinking about gettting her tested for "giftedness". Could someone please give us some insight on what steps we should take. There are no gifted programs in our school that she is currently in. Where should we go from here? We live in MA. Are IQ tests covered by insurance? How much do they usually cost? Does anyone have similar stories that might help us. Thank you.
