Lots of questions but first brief history.
dd10, started reading at 2, age 4 tested 3rd grade reading level. School said that she was just a good decoder and couldn't possibly understand what she was reading. Had her tested at age 6. Was a terrible experience, she did not like the tester. She had been given the RIAS and scored 140. Is this a good test? What is the ceiling on it?Her teacher and I never agreed with the report for numerous reasons. Anyways, I have tried unsuccessfully to have her grade skipped 3 times. Each year, they give her some mediocre form of enrichment instead. She has never "clicked" with the girls in her grade, has had some anxiety and emotional problems. The past 2 years, she seems to be very unhappy and it seems to be getting worse. She scores in the 99% on all subjects on standerized testing. She is currently in the 5th grade. Her current teacher said that she is "your typical gifted child that has been underchallenged and is starting to shut down". I am very worried. I have always felt that homeschooling is the way to go but meet with a very resistant huband. I recently (thursday) had her retested with a Dr. that she is very familiar with and he gave her the WICS IV.
Questions
1. When he did the testing, it took him alot longer than he thought. He said that she made it to the end on several of the subtest. Does that mean that she hit the "ceiling"?
2. How, what can I do to get her motivated again? She use to love to learn, and sometimes still does if it is something that she is interested in.
3. There has been alot of question on her processing speed. I think that is slowing her down. When tested before, her speed was average for her age although low compared to her intellect. Does that indicate a LD? Where would I go to have this evaluated further? I have been trying to teach her proper keyboarding so she can get faster but she despises the typing programs that I have tried.

My gut feeling has always been that she needs to be advanced. I strongly feel that if she was placed with older kids and more challenging cirriculum she would be much happier.
Any input, experiences, advice??? Sorry to ramble but just have had so much on my mind. I should hopefully get her results this week.
