Just to clear up any misunderstandings, it's not the Weschler IQ test that she's talking about doing, it's the Weschler non-verbal ability test.
Thanks for pointing this out and sharing the link.
I actually just want DD to take the WISC IV and if it turns out she does horrid in terms of working memory and processing speed because of the ADHD, for purposes of gifted identification, they can separate those out and use the GAI.
Interesting. What questions might this bring to mind for a discussion with the school... ? Here are some possibilities, no doubt you will think of better questions as you know your daughter's situation best.
1) Does the school or district accept outside test results? Under what circumstances?
2) If there is special scoring/accommodation for the gifted identification test, would this indicate that accommodation would be needed in the classroom?
3) Can she be identified as 2e/LD to receive accommodation in the classroom?
4) If accommodation is provided due to LD identification, can she keep up with the pace of the gen ed classes? If accommodation is provided due to 2e identification, can she keep up the pace of the gifted classes?
