If your child is DYS eligible I would go ahead and apply - the get togethers in Reno seem like a great way to meet peers with a high LOG.
He would qualify for the cognitive requirements of DYS if we used his GAI but not his FSIQ (there is only a 7 point difference). Plus, GAI was not reported on his writeup (I had to calculate it myself with the help of the forum here
). Do they care about things like this?
We also haven't done any achievement testing yet, as we haven't had reason to. And, to be honest, the option about showing work demonstrating several years above grade level with 4 different subjects sounds exhausting. I don't have any idea what grade level really is, nor would I even know where to begin with that.
I'm keeping a DYS application in the back of my head, but it's not really a priority at the moment. I'm also waiting to see what kind of support I'm going to get from his new school in the fall. It might not really be all that critical to apply him to DYS.
