Knute,
Just curious. Which tests did they use to diagnose your dd as gifted in the school? I have such contradictory test results for dyslexic and maybe dysgraphic ds. Highly gifted on non-verbal tests, but most school districts want gifted on every test, verbal too. His current teacher has a hard time reconciling that he is gifted/highly intelligent and struggling in handwriting and reading.
One of our old school districts even denied in 3rd grade my high acheiving no learning disability daughter. She scores 99th percentile on every IQ test, Cogat, everything. I think it was some obscure test that she got 90th or something. She was in GT in kinder at our old district. Of course she got in, in 4th grade, but I knew it was something wierd. She is textbook HGT, intensity, reader at age 3, all subjects. There has never been a teacher that didn't identify her.
