Dottie, good memory!
We're seeing someone privately for a SB-V. The school will be doing a WPPSI, and we're "in the queue". Could take as long as as Oct/Nov before that happens.
Basically we really like our psychologist and he's not rushing DS. We did about 1 1/2 hours of the SB-V and have another 1 1/2 hours scheduled this up coming week. However, as the psychologist pointed out (and showed us) DS isn't going to test really, really well on the SB-V but he suspects DS will be in the EG range. Visual testing just doesn't measure his abilities. That's fine, as the dr wants to do some other tests (achievement tests) to see where DS is. The dr has done a lot to dissuade any lingering GT-denial I had
and he knows what our objectives are (understanding where DS is on the spectrum, understanding what we need to think about for DS's education, and if DS is in the DYS ballpark, having appropriate documentation). We've come a long way in the last month!
We are starting to lean towards the k-school + G/T pull out + some at home schooling. We started 15 min/day this weekend. Mixed results, but that's mostly because DS decided to be "a pill" this weekend. After misbehaving nearly all of today, 10 minutes before bath time he announces "I want to do home schooling!" Kids. Whaddaya going to do with 'em
