I made appt. with ped neuro to check out attn issues.
So, not really what I expected. But this tester is very experienced with gifted kids.
I guess a lot of the challenges I am seeing are related to other stuff (adoption/loss/trauma/sensory related to institutionalization?) and maybe inattentive ADHD.
So, overall I think we are coming closer to understanding dd, and psych had lots of suggestions for the right kind of teacher.
I think I got pretty spoiled by older dd who was much easier to figure out and accomodate (thanks in part to the wisdom and input of helpful posters to this forum!)
Even though it isn't exactly what I expected, still worth it. (Just hope dh agrees after writing that check!)
Edited to add: She also said lots about what an artistic, creative, funny kid dd is. But, I already knew that and those aren't the areas we need help with!
