Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment DYS benefits

So, now that DD has DYS qualifying explore scores (including hitting ceilings on two subtests) , my question is - should we apply? What are the benefits?

We are in an unusual position as far as some of the benefits I've seen mentioned on this forum. We've tried advocacy at school (acceleration), and it went nowhere. Our school has several HG kids per grade, so the administration's answer was, "Many of these kids are really smart." On the plus side, DD and DS have plenty of peers at the same level, so I don't think we would benfit from the social or advocacy aspects.

Any thoughts?
