Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Regions looking for achievement tester in Chicago burbs

We had Ds6 (almost 7) tested last year. Our tester does not administer the WJ-III. I am looking for someone in the Schaumburg area that does. Any suggestions?

If you run a search you should find a thread about someone in Long Grove I think. Not exactly Schaumburg but not more than a 30 minute drive either. I'm not sure who it was, just remember reading about it not too long ago.

Yes Dr. Navarro is in long grove. She is our tester but doesnt use WJ _III. She is awesome btw

well, I guess I wasn't much help, was I? lol ... but thanks for the recommendations! I'll keep her in mind when the time comes to test my boys!

why do you need the WJ-III specifically? Is it school program related?

I think there is a list on Hoagies gifted website. That's what Mk13 may have seen the name. There was a couple other names on the list for Illinois. My daughter who is in the Magnet Program in Schaumburg never had that test. I read somewhere that gifted children don't score well on the test.

Are you aware of the following link. It contains, I think three Chicago area testers; Naperville, Skokie, and the area around Great America I think.
