BTW - how far over to the Right Side the the graph does your younger child end up? 2SD? 3SD? The graph measures 'unusualness' and humans being what they are, 'more unusual' means less likely to get their needs met without special efforts. If you go back to the doc, ask her or him to help you estimate 'how unusual' your child is compared to the local school system.
His GAI was 99.8. PRI 99.9 and Verbal 96%, so right between 2SD and 3SD.
Have you applied to Davidson Young Scholar's Program? Do it.
Even having 'parts' of a profile at the 3SD mark (PRI 99.9) means more unusual than the usual expectations for giftedness. Luckily, school doesn't much deal with the strengths of PRI, and so his Verbal 96% should make classrooms a friendlier place for him than for a kid with 96% PRI and 99.9% Verbal. Take a look at Iowa Acceleration Scale Manual for details on 'skip or no skip'
Get lots of afterschool stuff that deals with Engineering/Architectural/Visual Puzzle Solving. That may be where DH can really notice that 'unusualness.'
