Hi Momofonegirl,
The tester we chose is an expert with regards to gifted children and we were very pleased. He didn't give us much advice concerning educational recommendations, except that they would do better in a private school for gifted children.
Duh.
But, it's hard for someone to give you advice on how to plan your child's educational career after a 2 hour test. After all, no one knows your child/family like you do!
He does, however, offer great advice on issues pertaining to their giftedness when things come up.
I think the WISC is a good test to start out with.
We have sent in an application for DD8 this year. I have a DD5 in K but we will not send in an application because her WPPSI scores do not meet the cut-off.
However, if we were to send in stuff for her, I'd send in her drawings, writing samples and she's interested in science and has drawn molecules and atoms.
If you don't have anything on paper, I know people have sent in videos of their children. I guess you could videotape anything your child does that you think is somewhat unusual compared to her agemates.
Hope this helps.
Incog
