Kcab,
Sounds like you have a good plan. In the meantime, see if she has any hobbies that can be turned in to social opportunites. Do what works to keep a close relationship - afterall- sometimes adults have to stand in for peer-friendships, and the key person to do that may have to be you. It's great that she has an adult friend that does craft projects with her - occuping their hands may be the perfect way to loosen their tounges! ((wink))
You will need an individually administered IQ test to fill out the Iowa Acceleration Scale - and a talent search test is a nice bonus.
Now I'll go back and reread your post to see if I have any idea for DS.
Big Smiles,
Trinity
