Thanks so much for your responses! I felt odd posting it since he just turned 4...but when you have a child that starts doing the stuff he did at 18 months....I feel like I have been waiting forever already. What type of achievement testing is there for children? I am somewhat reluctant to do any testing at all...because I don't really want him labelled or classified by a number....so I don't intend to tell anyone the results other than what the school needs to know. I just decided that his actions already label him anyhow why not be able to have an explanation for it. I am hopeful that some testing would help him, but quite honestly I am not sure any testing will help with our district. I live in NY, so there is no mandated gifted programing and our school doesn't have it. But I will certainly go ahead and pursue a CSE to get him services if necessary.
