Yes, ELP is Extended Learning Program or Talented and Gifted.
I don't think that having our DD tested put a target on her necessarily. Maybe a target on me:-)
I think you are right about the gifted specialist not being inspiring...maybe she doesn't understand Cognitive Abilities Test!

We just found out that our principal and his "team" want to meet tomorrow (a meeting we requested) to talk about educational planning. So much from a few days to choose from to make it work in DH's work schedule.

Hang in there!
