Grinity:
The tester said if my sons school had a gifted program or some accelarated courses it would be beneficial for him to be in them. ((hugs))
So - by definition - a kid who NEEDS a gifted program, is gifted. The tester believes your child is gifted.
I well remember the feeling of folks thinking I was mentally unhinged when I was freaked out that my son knew all his letters and letter sounds by age 2, but didnt' start 'reading' until late kindy. It's no fun having other's doubt us, or having something to say that can't be said politely. You son has special educational need due to his unusally strong learning style - what else could gifted mean?
Peace,
