Hi Jon's mom,
here's National Organization for Gifted Childrens' version:

Not all psychologists or evaluators are experienced with children of high ability. In fact, finding a psychologist who has expertise in evaluating gifted students (especially GT/LD or other dual exceptionalities) can be formidable, but it is essential. Professionals are generally more familiar with children who have developmental delays, and therefore use and interpret test results within that framework.
A good place to start is with your state affiliate (link) to see their suggested list of professional contacts and resources. If your state doesn't keep a list of professionals, consider extending your search to neighboring states.
More Information
"Frequently Asked Questions about Testing and Assessing Giftedness" by Kathi Kearney includes a list of questions to ask a potential examiner.
"Psychologists familiar with Testing the Gifted and Exceptionally Gifted" has additional resources, along with a list of psychologists by state ((LOL, they are sending you back to Hoagiesgifted.org))
Smiles,
Trin
