Dottie-No, I don't think my insurance will cover this. Certainly didn't cover his speech therapy when he was younger....

I read that the early reading may be giftedness, esp. if self taught (which he did). At the same time, I've also read that reading abilities, when compared to other kids, may 'even' out in the later elementary years so someone who is 'gifted' now in reading won't necessarily be considered that later. I'm just wondering that if he currently scored a 164-165 in reading (over 130, which is 98-99.9%), then is it really possible to become 'average' later on???

Jack's mom-he had a complete hearing test when he entered the special ed preschool. Passed. Even though everyone thinks he is talking fine now, I still feel as though he has difficulty finding the words sometimes. He did not 'qualify' for speech services this year but now that the team has seen his scores, they are going to consider another full speech & language eval to see if there are still some issues.
