This is fantastic feedback - thank you, truly.
If possible, we would like to stay in our current school and work with the administration. I appreciate your positive attitude about teachers and administrators, as sometimes I feel like I'm not connecting. In order to form a partnership advocating the best interest of our children, we need to remain positive about what can be done for each child in his or her given situation. Thank you for that reminder.
I think the combined feedback to my post is that the first "best step" is testing so that we actually have quantitative data with which to work. If necessary, I can then move forward scheduling a time to meet with the school in order to determine what accommodations can be made.
You know, I was originally interested in which tests might be appropriate for DD but the responses thus far have provided much greater insight to our situation as a whole. Thank you for the website suggestions -I've spent some time on Hoagies and will look into our local chapter of MENSA.
Thanks again to each of you and your time spent responding... will keep everyone posted.
