Dr. Silverman's thoughts are that based on both of the girls scores we have so far, they are both profoundly gifted. The school disagrees so we are going to Colorado.
To be honest, I agree with spaghetti. I also think it's potentially risky to think that the school will openly accept testing from out of state, and I may be a bit cynical, but I think there are two potential ways for a third party to view the Dr. Silverman testing - you're looking at it as a way to get what you feel is a more accurate IQ and a better understanding of your children's strengths and weaknesses because Dr. Silverman's business is focused on giftedness and 2e. Another person might look at it as an attempt to get an inflated IQ or questionable diagnosis by going to a business where most kids tested come out with a high IQ and/or 2e diagnosis. I don't mean that with any disrespect to Dr. Silverman, just see that as a risk in putting down eval $ and travel $ for the eval.
Re what to do about the anxiety, I'd second ash's suggestion.
