I'm new to the board - thanks in advance for any responses. We are trying to line up a full assessment/evaluation for our 6-year-old boy, who shows definite intellectual precocity, and has some high early DAS scores, but also has some sequencing and social-interactive weaknesses.

We are hoping to have results in hand before the start of school in late August to help us in discussions with local schools, which we know already to oppose acceleration on principle. We have been in touch with Johns Hopkins, which has a heavy backlog, and wanted to ask for referrals to testers in this part of the country that others on the board have worked with successfully.

Thank you again. I am also posting this note on the regional board.
