menlomom74, thank you!!! (And same to you! I wasn't trying to be rude.) I've got to lower my stress level. I've got heart palpitations from this.
Well, for now it's back to work (or rather "to work"). Good luck to Jrl, Helenjhq, and any lurkers. I'll check back later.
ETA: Congrats to you too, Jrl!!! Good luck with DD!

Great news! Lots of kids this month -- nice to see. Good luck to those still waiting, and sorry for anyone who didn't make it this time.

One for two. Got the note that DD's appliction needs some supplemental information on the achievement test. Truth be told, I couldn't have told you there was anything different between what I sent for her versus her brother. But sure enough.
I'm not sure how all these subtests roll into the broader score (which is what is missing from DD's report), but if Rolle's theorom applies, I'm optimistic DD will soon join her brother.
Anyway, I shared the news with DS last night, he was quite pleased with himself. There is a DYS in the class above him at his school that DS very much looks up to. Explained in the abstract, the fact that he was accepted meant little to him. Explained that he would be part of the same group as this older girl, he was beaming. Very nice.

The eternal question - what to tell the children?
In general, I don't advise telling kids that they have been accepted into DYS until there is some concrete need for them to know, or at least a concrete event to attend, or some change in their life that springs from this identification.
I don't mean this as criticism Jrl - it sounds like your son is very much in need of knowing that he isn't all alone, and that he has a very concrete way to understand DYS - it's what his older role model belongs to!
Smiles,
Grinity

Dottie -- just now seeing this thread again after being out of town. Thanks for the thoughts.
You are correct that DS is the older one. We had submitted WJ-III results for both DS and DD, as those are used by their school and were readily available.
For each child, the WJ-III Cog report was in a form acceptable to DYS. But the WH-III Ach reports were formatted differently. DS's included subtests and the calculated broad scores. DD's included the subtest results but not the broad score calculation.
The examiner was able to reissue the report for DD, revised to include calculation of broad scores. I still don't follow the manner in which the sub-test roll up into the larger number, but not matter. Her results included 162 for broad math and 177 for broad written language, which will hopefully give DYS what they need. I just submitted the reformated report this morning.
Any idea if we are in for another month of waiting? Or are supplemental materials evaluated on a different timeline from whole applications?
