There aren't any, I think the closest is in Charlotte. We went to NC State's Psychoeducational Dept for testing. Both our boys enjoyed the process, at the time 6 and 8, our now 8yo is a DYS, our 10yo narrowly missed it though hit thresholds in three of the Explore categories this past January. We were very happy with them. They also do testing per Wake County's requirements which was important to us. I guess the main consideration is why are you dong the testing? If he took the Explore yet it was likely through Duke's TIP program which means he was already recognized as gifted through the school system if you are enrolled in public. Third graders are tested early in the years, IOWA and CogATs are administered, only those over 95th percentile are accepted into TIP. Wake's threshold for AIG resources is the 92nd percentile in either math or LA.
I'm well versed in County policy and have contacts at the AIG office if you need them, just say so!
