ps - fwiw, I don't necessarily agree with the school that the gap on the CogAT isn't a big deal. It might not be, but many of us with 2e kids have similar gaps, and they are in fact sometimes indications of something
I posted the opposite, and rather than confuse the OP, I wanted to clarify that I should have said, a big gap between verbal and nonverbal isn't necessarily a problem. It definitely could indicate a problem. The first time one of my kids did a nonverbal test, he scored poorly (although amazingly high on verbal) because he misunderstood/put way too much thought into it. I literally spent five minutes explaining the type of things they were looking for and after that, he always scored really well on nonverbal. Anyway, my reply wasn't clear and I absolutely agree with Polarbear that it could signify a problem. I guess I was just more incensed by their response on the other issue.
