Is this situation, what would typically motivate a school for testing a 1st grader?
sibling: IQ, WJIII both 140, 99.6%
Parental concerns for future behavior problems
child stuffs feelings all day, upset after school
child's reaction to school: math too slow, reading babyish, writing answers ahead under blanks to figure out ahead of class
feels like preschool but no playtime
Not raising hand to give other kids a chance to answer
My goal is to figure out a way to ask that doesn't make them mad.
They don't want me to tell them what to do.
I really not sure what I want out of the testing other than knowing where she is and possibly DYS. I do think she is not where her brother is but I could be wrong. I think the process of identification can take a while and it might be better to be ahead of the game. This could also help with talent searches but the school would not test for that reason.
