Thank you slammie for all your inputs. I will apply for pgretreat. For cty, looks like he needs to take the SCAT test to be eligible. Did you try that too? Also, did you apply for the Mensa membership?
We haven't applied to Mensa - mostly because DITD has been so beneficial for us and really life changing for the kids. I suppose I have also been put off by a few families who become members of Mensa for bragging rights, and I didn't want to pay annual dues either. What you get out of Mensa I think also depends on how active your local Mensa group is.
Both of mine have done talent search through CTY. The SCAT is a very brief test that you can have your DS take without a lot of pressure. CTY also has fantastic financial aid support and it allowed my DS to attend summer camps during years when we had financial hardships due to unemployment.
