Identification in Early Childhood (K-3) - 08/28/18 03:18 PM
hi! I'm back with more questions.
yesterday a couple other parents and i met with some of the district administrators to discuss the GT programs available at our elementary schools. one of the administrators commented that identification prior to age 8 or 9 is very difficult. i know that IQ testing is tricky before that age, but i was under the impression that there are other ways to identify giftedness in young children. i can't find any research to that end, though. can someone point me in the right direction?
many thanks!
