Hello! I'm a first time poster on this forum, but I have appreciated reading on this site for help in the past.
We (my wife and I) have a second grader (girl) who is in a highly gifted class and absolutely loves it. It has provided her a great educational fit where she feels challenged and comfortable. What a relief!
Our kindergartener (girl) has shown a higher level of achievement and congnitive ability than our second grader (at least from our untrained perspective). We are considering private testing for her in preparation for application to the highly gifted program, which we feel will be an excellent fit for her...even more than for our second grader. However, we are concerned about the group testing for her that the school district carries out, as her skills don't lend themselves well to a group administered test.
We are working on finding someone to do the testing but would appreciate some help in how to locate and select the right person to do it. We live in Boise, Idaho and would probably be willing to travel to Salt Lake, Portland, Reno, or somewhere else within a reasonable geography if need be. Any suggestions on specific people? Also, any suggestions on a good process to find the right person would be very much appreciated. Thank you for your help!
