I have no doubt that we were fortunate. We were especially fortunate because the assessment was in the library--he couldn't keep his eyes (or hands) off the books.LOL I can't remember for sure, but I suspect he took a book off the shelf and started reading it--not because he was showing off but because he loved to read.
I'm trying to remember why I chose to not share with the teacher before the assessment. I think I was playing a little game, myself: "This assessment goes both ways; lets see how astute you are, Ms. Teacher." Since my son is so outgoing, I would have had grave doubts about a teacher who had missed his abilities and probably would have started scoutin alternative education plans had she not noticed something was different with DS. But fortunately she passed our test with flying colors!
