Welcome! I hope you are able to have your daughter tested under the conditions you feel are best, not what the someone else says. I'm not sure what other testers would feel about taking a child off of meds to do testing as we haven't dealt with meds yet, but are getting to the point of consulting about them for our DS8. Have you approached your DD8 school about skipping a grade? How are their feelings on the subject of acceleration if the music teacher at the highschool won't even let your other DD move up to a jr/sr choir whom has the ability.

As for your older daughter, its great to hear about the classical voice training, sometimes I wonder if its a dying art in these times ( I'm a trained opera singer ), so its good to know there are still people coming up the ranks with immense talent! Its sad that if your fabulous in a sport they are all about bumping you up to collect more trophies for the school but anything else, they don't want you to excel because its not normal, or makes people uncomfortable...yet another issue I have with schools...

I hope you can find some great information here! Welcome again! I'm originally from your closer region ( Seattle metro area/Vancouver BC ) and hope to get back there soon!
