I would highly recommend Dr. Lusby at Cornerstone Assessment. I talked to Dr. Lusby on the phone for about 30 minutes and she is very familiar with DYS and has tested two of her clients into the program. The testing and write up is not cheap....$950 for IQ test and achievement test. She will first test IQ and if it's in the DYS range then she will continue with achievement. Dr. Lusby breaks down the testing this way so you don't have to pay for the achievement portion if your child does not test into the range. Dr. Lusby thought my DD7 was a very strong candidate based on her past experience but we do not have the money set aside at this time. DD7 is doing great at school and tested LOVES her GT class/teacher. If DD7 was not doing well in school or unchallenged then we definitely would bite the bullet for further testing so we could get the assistance from DYS. Keeping Dr. Lusby's information in my back pocket incase issues arise and we need her expertise.
Hope this helps!
