Dee Dee - it seems to be rather arbitrary, because the diagnostician told me prior to testing that she would assign the gifted diagnosis if his IQ was anywhere in the 120's. It was 119, although his last IQ test was 123. Now she is saying it just wasn't high enough - that if it was higher in the 120's she would, since his other scores now showed no signs of a learning disability.
It is the logic of that explanation that's been giving me fits, because I do feel it is all so arbitrary and that I am left without really knowing the best way to advocate for my kid.
