I guess to add, I am still in complete shock and freaking out over this. I mean, I knew we were looking at PG from peds and education specialists, and I knew reading was at least 3rd grade, but I did not know that she was across the board closer to a 7 year old than a not quite 4 year old. He also said, He "believes the best time for grade skips is in the elementary years and not in middle and high school."
I should add that the test he gave ceilinged at 7 years old and she hit the ceiling on many of the catagories, I can't remember which but will have the paperwork soon and can look then. He said he could not completely give age levels as she ceilinged so much.
He also said, "while if we get her engaged with older kids, socially it will fit better. It will still not be the fit she is wanting and she will need to find that with adults for conversation. But for play, she would fit better right now with 5,6,7 year olds."
So I see that he is saying no matter what the frustration she is feeling will be there, and well I dont want to frusterate her more by confining her academically. Okay, I may call and see if I can speak more to him before he leaves on friday.
He did say if I ever needed to reach him, no matter where he was in the state traveling, I could contact the principal and she would get me in contact with him. Sigh
