Levia,

yeah =\ i just looked into it over the weekend and it loos like a base price is like $500 - a lot of money for us. it's kind of sounding like though that kids who are gifted at math are sometimes not considered an overall gifted child. i'm wondering what that means when it comes to an IQ test. does it mean he may never score in the ranges that would qualify him for a specialized program? seems unfortunate if thats the case because he could really benefit from having some people in his life who play-in-math like he does.

i'm still looking into the psych eval too though, i definitely get the significants of having it done by a psych rather than 45 mins with a grad student now more than i did before posting this topic. not to imply she did a bad job but he might just need a different approach. i also don't think at the time he had any concept of why it might be important to answer the questions to the best of his ability, or even answer them at all.
