st pauli girl - I've bookmarked those references, thanks! The gifted testing was a result of contacting the psychologist (a referal from our pediatrician) due to some behavior concerns at school and home (the details are probably more appropriate for the Parenting forum). We have always known he was "smart" for his age, reading early, love for math, strong memory, etc., but really never considered having him tested. As we were working through this behavior with him, I was also researching "oversensative" behavior of gifted children. Long story, but our thought was that understanding if he was gifted, it would help us as parents...and, so here we are
shellymos - I appreciate your thoughts on public vs. private schools. Our initial discussions with his teacher have been very supportive and we hope to find out much more in the next week or two on what his IEP (if they do that) would be.
