I think you have a compelling reason to have them consider using achievement testing for gifted i.d.
Could you get either of the psych's to write a letter to that extent?
I would see how much you can find out concerning:
Does your state require schools to i.d. gifted
Does your state require schools to offer gifted services
The big one is how the state defines gifted i.d. process. Where I live the state allows the districts to determine what they use for gifted i.d.
If possible I would get the rec from the psych and info beforehand.
