I had always described my daughter’s case as border-line or subtle. I was firmly corrected in this characterization of her profile by the head of department of this U. She stated that my dd’s diagnostic testing indicate highly significant deficits and the fact that she is so smart masks the extent of the problem to casual observers and I should not down play it.


I wonder if a large number of unidentified GT kids would test similarly to your daughter? And without given help in the deficient area the child's performance in the gifted area falls off -- thus leading to the remarks by some educators that "they all even out around the 3rd grade"!
