Hi, first I would like to say thank you for all the great input
.It is soo helpful.
He was tested by the school district. I have now come to realize they do not know what they are doing. My dd was tested by them. They made a few mistakes in her test. One, she is left handed which heavily penalizes her in coding,also a perfectionist. Her score on coding was in the 5%. Two, they would not substitue her arithmatic score(99.7%). Three, they had no clue what the GAI was, nor were they interested in checking into it.
Unfortunatly we do not have the funds to pay for outside testing(economy) for ds10. I did check into the clinical psy. dept. at our local universities. This is where graduate students practice their clinicals. They only charge 250.00.They will do IQ and achievment testing. Does anyone thinks this is a viable alternative?
Iam hoping next year we can afford to have dd7 evaluated by Dr. Ruff or at the Gifted Development Center. Does anyone know if there is a good place in Chicago to have her gitedness tested.
This would be much closer for us.
