For example, there may be youtube video interviews, blog posts, etc which may help families assess a comfortable "fit". The NAGC affiliate for the Chicago area would be the Illinois Association for Gifted Children (IAGC) http://www.iagcgifted.org/ Here is an article on questions to ask a tester: http://www.davidsongifted.org/db/Articles_id_10112.aspx

[url= http://www.dvacademy.org/admissions/iq-testers.aspx][/url] http://www.dvacademy.org/admissions/iq-testers.aspx Our boys are only 5.6 and 3.11 so we're trying to hold of on testing, especially since we have some serious 2E issues.
