Thanks aeh. Both kids strength is verbal, so its going to need to be that very area for them to qualify. And given DS's relative writing weakness, its not going to be the writing area :-).

Anyone know if they ever look at regular assessment testing? The kids do Dibels multiple times a year; DD was assessed (apparently, just learned this on Friday, now that the year is basically over) as having mastered the entire 2nd grade curriculum in fall. Shocking (note the sarcasm) that she became sullen and had behavior issues, right? The school psych suggested I push to see if we can get her assessed for 3rd grade now, so we can begin to really plan for her for next year over the summer. If she passes out of that, perhaps I could see if she can do much of 4th too - then she would qualify toward a portfolio for doing work two grade levels above...
