Dear Group,
We've known my son is slightly more than 3 standard deviations above normal on the WPPSI, but didn't know what this meant for schooling until recently--it is raising a lot of questions about the supports he needs and we have been offered consideration for acceleration.
We've also been feeling isolated--wanting to connect with others facing similar circumstances. I discovered the Davidson Young Scholars Program 2 weeks ago and am starting to hope that we might qualify and even be able to meet other DYSs in our same school district.
I think our application would be strengthened by an achievement test, mostly because my child's IQ test happened 7 wks before he turned 4. It is not recommended for him to take another one until at least next fall (wait of 2 years between).
Could anybody please explain to me the differences between the KTEA-II or KTEA-3, WIAT � III, and WJ-IV Ach?
Are any of these particularly recommended or not recommended for a 5 year-old who is still in pre-K (missed cut-off for kindergarten), or kids with probable ADHD?
I'm not completely sure we want to go the route of achievement testing, but if so, I'd like some advice from people who have greater experience than us.

Thanking you in advance!
