Hi Freya
Maps - ds loves maps - but my verbal guy always has an answer - you do it, you do it better. Love the idea of art and showing different perspectives. Have tried, I'll do this but you do that. Prior to the test I think we weren't as aware as we are now how much we feed what he is good at and let him brush us off of what he isn't as good at. I saw what you were talking about with the debate about processing speed, and I agree, although I feel we need more info, which is why in think we will at the very least do the OT eval.�
We feel a bit like we have to move on this because of K. We have citywide gifted and local gifted programs and the difference between them is tremendous. I worry greatly about him not being in a class of his peers. I see what its like now. �And now I am wondering about how far he could potentially be ahead by next year in terms of reading and science. His 138 FSIQ I believe meets the 99% criteria, rumor has it at 130, but it's - combo test, OLSAT and the Bracken school readiness (I am starting to hate that term), I don't want him to miss out on what he needs because of fine motor, but then I don't want to subject him to undue pressure - you have 6 months kid to get it together! �
