My son (8) has had a disastrous experience at his current school. We will be moving him from a very small private montessori program to the local public school in the fall. I do not trust the school to evaluate him in a timely manner much less in a way that allows him to test to his potential. I have called around and the only private tests in our area that I can find are the Wenchler (sp) series. From what I have read, these tests are not good indicators for the degree of gifted? Also from my reading, I am looking at the Woodcock Johnson acheivement series to get a sense of what does he know and the SB-5 for learning potential. Does this seem reasonable? If not what other options do you suggest? We are also trying to find a competent person to do the evaluations with experience in 2x gifted in the Mid Atlantic region.
Thanks
