Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Learning Environments Is Public School enough for DD?

Rachel, you can request a full report from the testing - send an email to the school psych asking for a copy of the full set of results, including all subset scores. It just occurred to me that one reason you might only have a GAI is that instead of giving the full WISC the school might have skipped the two sections on processing speed and working memory.

Was she being tested by the school for gifted services, or for a different reason?

One last note - sometimes struggles can look like perfectionism in 2e kids when they are your dd's age. So it might be perfectionism, it might not, it might be a combo of perfectionism + something else. Asking for the test report, and digging for more details/info from your dd, maybe thinking through her day at school yourself etc - those are all good places to start!

Best wishes,

eta - when you make the request for the full report of scores from the school, I'd recommend making it in writing (you can make the request via email).
