Thanks for the response, all.
I have ordered both books through amazon.
I don't think that his teacher is concerned about her inconvenience, she is very focused on getting him ready for middle school next year, is very "diplomatic" in her observations of him, and willing to work with us, especially re organizational skills. I have had to seek her out to get feedback, she's not breathing down our neck because of his issues. However, her focus has so far been on fixing the attention problems as well as the organizational ones rather than exploring the potential GT aspect. For now we are continuing to help him organize paperwork nightly, and she is supposed to send me status e-mails weekly. ( This after he forgot to give her her copy of the Connor's test 2 days in a row, then lost the note that I sent asking her if she got the Connor's form, and then when the note was found in the hallway by another teacher, he realized he lost the Connor's form (!)).
I don't know where to begin to ask for further IQ testing. A teacher friend in the district stated that a school psychologist would only come in if LD/GT testing was warranted,and I am not sure this would be the best route to take. He did not qualify for the GATE program last year, our first year in the district, and I am not sure what testing was involved.
I have searched for a private psychologist specializing in this area in our city and have come up empty handed. Are there resources to better help me identify the most qualified professional?
Thanks again,
Jen
