I have noticed in several threads people mentioning having their child tested by someone experienced working with gifted kids. This may sound like a silly question, but why is it important that they have experience with gifted kids? Wouldn't the scores be equally valid regardless of the population they normally see? And if it is important, how does one go about finding professionals that are experienced with gifted? (and on a tangent note, I have yet to find an OT experienced with gifted. People look at me like I have two heads when I ask the question and I get the "we have experience will ALL kinds of kids and have many, many bright kids."
Thought?_
