Yes, DD13 & DS8 are both gifted. DD11 had not been screened before because she does not show many characteristics of giftedness. I guess those may be different if she has a learning disability. The SAGES reasoning test is a screener for gifted; the counselor did modify it a bit in that she let DD11 circle the answers on the actual page instead of transferring them to an answer sheet. But it was still a picture analogy test. I don't know which test the psychologist will use to assess her verbal IQ.

I don't think DH is trying to protect DD11 by wanting to keep DS at the same school. (Maybe he's protecting his mom & sister's egos?) DD11 actually is a lot like me--middle child, moody, sensitive.

Another question: Dyslexia is a medical diagnosis in Florida; would any of you suggest taking her to the pediatrician with the school psychologist's report? I am leaning toward doing that, but I am not sure...
