Grinity had posted in a different thread, some advice to another poster about getting further testing:
c) help you get ideas on how to meet this particular individual child's learning needs. (Make sure that the professional you hire is good at this.)
Does anyone have any suggestions about what questions to ask as you identify a professional you might want to work with? I'm not sure what level of advice is realistic to expect from a professional.
I wish we could go to DS's school and ask exactly what they would need in order to provide accomodations, but it's a parochial school, and we've already been told by them that they're not set up (yet) for handling GT kids. So, while we're hopeful that if we can provide the school with numbers they might be open to doing something, we know that may not be an option. We're counting on the numbers to tell us how far he is from the middle, and hoping someone will be able to tell us, "Here's what I would do with DS7 if I were you..." and then give us some suggestions.
Has anyone had counseling in this regard that really worked for them?
Thanks again for any advice. You folks are wonderful.
