I would try to connect w/ someone else who has walked the road you're about to be on. Getting insider info is a must. The mom I spoke to said absolutely do NOT let the school psych do the testing. He tested her son, he came out not gifted, the psych denied an IEP for other issues etc said he was just barely bright. Well outside tested shows him to be PG+, is now accelerated 4yrs+ in math etc. I think finding someone who is skilled/trained in testing gifted kids is a must. Now of course if your school will only accept their own testing, you have to go with it. Or the school might have a list of psychs they will accept outside scores from.
