Thanks for the response, DeeDee. She does work specificially with kids on the spectrum, but I know girls can be tricky. On the surface my daughter looks the opposite of someone on the spectrum: outgoing needs constant engagement from others, hyper verbal, etc but there have been a few things that have made us wonder a little bit and maybe this will help us to put some worries to rest or take a new approach.
I don't know the entire plan yet, but the first appointment was a structured play session with targeted activities to observe autism spectrum type behaviors. She said she saw tons of good things, but has said little more. The next appointment will be to look at ADHD type behaviors but I am not sure what test it will be. After that, she is doing some IQ testing.
My one concern is that she may not be familiar with gifted kids.
Did insurance cover all of your testing?
thanks again
