Austin,
I looked up Deborah Ruf and printed out a copy of her estimated levels of giftedness. After both my husband and I read it we're a bit more blown away by what we think. It appears to us that our DD is either a 3 or 4 (we don't agree), but either way it leads us to believe that she is extremely gifted. (Which we had been thinking anyway) Now it has made us more frustrated with how slowly her school is moving to get her tagged as GT so they can write an ALP for her and start addressing her needs.
I'm waiting for one of the other books to come in to our library.
Thanks for the info. It can be overwhelming when you're new to this and have more questions than answers and aren't really sure where to start.
