Thanks for the feedback - very helpful. One follow-up question: Given that our school does not offer any GT programs (other than sporadic volunteer-led enrichment projects, in which my kids always participate) and that our state does not mandate any GT programs, what is the benefit of IQ testing? Isn't it usually done to qualify for school GT programs? Is there another reason to have it done? I would like to ask the school to pay for the testing (as it is not financially feasible for us to pay for now), but I feel as though I should be able to articulate a solid justification for it.
