Thank you for the comments. We are just starting this process so we haven't looked into anything yet. We were recommended by his primary to get tested for ADHD and we will be going back to him with the results next week. I'm looking to learn as much in the meantime to make best informed decisions.
Grinity: We're in central VA so JHU may be a little far if we can handle it locally. DS was tested in 2nd (4 yrs ago) for placement in the gifted programs. I cant locate the test results but remember it was a combination of teacher recommendations and some testing. He was just over in Reading, well over in Math, and his overall was good for acceptance.
Dottie/Mich: I read more about CAPD after your post and will keep it as an option to discuss with the primary. Also going to ask about Stealth Dyslexia although generally writing and spelling are pretty good. He does make careless mistakes in math but seems to have more of an issue transposing words (directions) and process order than individual letters or numbers. He was an early talker/reader/writer but that may be due to being first and only child and grandchild for a few years. That head start may have caught up some. Oh and he definitely has a reserved personality especially with new people.
I'll gather some thoughts and post some more traits in the morning. Thanks!
