    No gifted program in school Anant 12/20/24 01:58 AM
    Hello,

    I’m new to this forum. My son (3 years and 10 months) recently took the WPPSI-IV and got the following results-

    Verbal Comprehension Index
    126

    Visual-Spatial Reasoning Index
    126

    Working Memory Index
    138

    Full Scale Score
    140

    The school(s) we are applying to doesn’t have any special gifted program. One claims that they will help in teaching him more if he completes the year’s curriculum but I don’t think they have done that for any other kids before. They definitely don’t have any dedicated team member for it.

    I’m wondering with his scores, will he fit in to a regular school? Or do we need to specifically seek a school that has a gifted program? We will probably have to relocate to another for that as current country is lacking such schools. So the lift on our end is big?

    Thank you,
    Anant

    The puzzles in the commercial set may be too easy for her, but could give her ideas for making more challenging puzzles. She could incorporate rhymes, cryptic clues and maths in her puzzles.
