When I first contacted the school about having her tested, I also looked around for a private psychologist who had experience with educational testing for gifted children. I really didn't have any luck, unfortunately. The one person I managed to find who does it told me the school would be better at it because they screen kids all the time for LD. (Not the same thing, but good experience to have.) This person also told me the different IQ tests were all "basically the same" and there is no need to worry about finding the "right" test to bring out my daughters strengths. Needless to say, I wasn't filled with confidence.
If we do decide to move forward with further testing,(we may still decide to wait a few years), can anyone recommend a good resource to look for a qualified professional experienced with gifted children? The hoagies site didn't have anyone for our state.
