DS15 finished all the neuropsyc testing over the past two weeks. Took longer than I'd hoped..two full sessions (4-5 hrs each) and a little bit of homework (a few forms that the pscy didn't need to oversee for him & us) that I got mailed back today. But I won't get results until the end of the month because of vacation schedules, it's mostly because the pscy had a vacation planned, and then we will be gone a week and my son for 3. It would be better for the results meeting to include him, but it probably won't. I thought it wouldn't be a problem I just want the results in time to see if a plan can be put in place for fall, but now I'm very curious and getting anxious. To add complexity the pscy & the educational therapist that is working with him, will want to do their OWN interpretation of the data. And eventually the high school. Hopefully we will get similar feedback, or I don't know what I'm going to do.

I think he mostly found the testing interesting. He had one test that he said was really easy math, until it wasn't. Really easy algebra II questions and then you turn the page and there are these weird squiggles, and arrows. Hmm.. so I guess my kid who has just finished Algebra II hasn't seen any Calculus yet.

The writing class I singed DS up for didn't end up working. They were working on a personal essay, like you would for a college essay and He wasn't writing anything and getting stressed out. It didn't help he missed a few classes for the testing. We worked out an agreement that he didn't have to finish the class (only another week) but instead he had to WRITE a page everyday. Basically a journal, I don't have to read it, I just have to see that it is done. He is also working on online drivers ed, and spend this weekend in a driving skills class.

This wasn't really a question, more of an update. And a chance to vent about my anxiety, I'm not even sure what I'm anxious about. That the tests will reveal he isn't really gifted? That it won't show anything other than anxiety? That it will show something I'm not prepared to hear.
