The 129 story ends well, as the kid did ultimately retest a third time (maybe 4th!) and did top 130 in a key area to qualify. If you want to get more personal, you can PM me, but I'm not comfortable sharing too much on a public board. I can help with PA specific issues though.
Oh that is nice to hear! Luckily DS is only in first so there is always next year and the year after, etc...LOL maybe eventually that delayed part of his brain will at least catch up to average. LOL. Actually, he can still take the WISC this year, which leads me to my next thought/question. I am wondering about something. And perhaps I shoudl just PM you but... our district/school allegedly screens for gifted starting now (but they tell the parents nothing of this, probably 'cause they'd all go out and do "prep" courses it is seriously that kind of area
... I only know this b/c I am always chatting witth he school psych, etc. and extracting info lol). Anyway, what they do is "screen" all kids by giving them the OLSAT sometime this month. Then if the kid scores a certain number on the OLSAT those children get the WISC IV and based on the WISC scores they are "considered" for the gifted pull-out program. Since my kid got all of this testing in Januyary (but not OLSAT or WISC IV) will they still give him the OLSAT do you think? And what if he scores highh enough onit to get the WISC - will they still give him the WISC even though he just took the SB-V and does not (probably) qualify for gifted anyway with the SB-V scores? I totally plan on asking this of the School PSych, btw, if she ever calls me back! But wondering your thoughts on this? I am just curuous what they would do with him under these circumstances. I am also curious to see how he does on the OLSAT - although that's yet another test I know nothing about!
