Thank you NikiHarp!! It is a huge expense... that's a part of my anxiety about it. DS is very intense (I know I'm preaching to the choir here on that one) and he can either be really "on" or VERY "off" I know I have zero control over it, but I just cross all my digits that he's "on" for her.
I'm also nervous about finding out where he falls on the gifted spectrum. We've known he's gifted for a long time but this makes it all "real" if that makes sense, and I feel like I have few choices in this state re: gifted ed. The psych has already mentioned that I think about homeschooling if not this coming school year then at some point in the future. Again, I know I have no control over his scores, etc., but the psych was talking to me about how, generally speaking, the higher one is on the spectrum, the more socially ostracized one may feel. I already feel like he can't relate to his peers when they are building a tower with blocks and he's trying to construct a portcullis. They look at him like he has three heads.
