My son was tested (neuro psych testing) with the public school system right before he turned 5 (we were in private school at the time).
He's now 7 in a public charter school. We finally had an IEP for gifted/ADHD this school year (I had been asking for over a year for one). I mentioned to the diagnostician and the SpEd teacher that I'd like to get him re-tested since he was so young when he was originally tested and also because he hadn't been diagnosed with his ADHD at the time.
They told me that they would re-test him in the Spring (now). However, I have since been told that they're not going to re-test him since (1) he is already identified as gifted, (2) he is "in service" and (3) the state doesn't require re-testing.
What are your thoughts on re-testing? Should I pursue it further?
