My son is 5 yo - we have suspected him as gifted, but he also has some additional issues. When I spoke with Dr. Newman before, she seemed to really "get" gifted kids. I had called her and she spoke to me for 20 minutes without even knowing my name! While she is expensive, I didn't get the feeling that she is in it for the money. Still,7 - 2-hr sessions?! I know she doesn't take insurance; you felt it was definitely worth it going to her all things considered?
LOL - " ' I remember saying to Dr. Newman "what if he's not as smart as we think he is? '" That's how I feel! Some days I think he's actually 30; others, I think he is 3! He's an excellent reader, does well with math and loves science, but has difficulty with dexterity and social situations (though both are - slowly - improving).
I guess I just wanted to know if I'm making the right decision going to her first! Thanks so much for letting me know your experience.
