For BSD and LWSD, it looks like proving his qualification will be our biggest issue. He scored in 99.9 in WISC-R and about the same in SB in Turkey (no WISC-IV or SB-LM Turkish adaptation yet). With his level of English, CogAT/ITBS will be a problem. I wonder if they would be willing to accept a WISC-R taken outside of US.
I will try hard for gifted programs but I'm wondering if a year of regular program in BSD/LWSD would be OK during which he would at least grasp English. Any comments/experiences on the state of BSD/LWSD non-gifted middle school programs, or their ELL/ESL programs in general?
