Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment Suggestions on Full Evaluation on My DS6

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I would love to send him to a gifted school, where would require the test to be done for admission. Unfortunately, in our situation we won't be able to do it.

this profile looks exactly like my DS11 when he took KTEA brief form to quality for North western saturday enrichment program. I think it's identical. you can search my earlier post. We got him tested at 7 and qualified for DYS. Your DS looks globally gifted to me, i won't be suprised he has DYS qualifying IQ.

We benefit most from parent elist and online DIG with the generosity of all the DYS parent sharing their experiences and resources. It has been a challenging process raising DS but this community makes you feel you are not alone. It's worth it. Also, we loved the annual summit.

Having a neutral third party tell us our kid was gifted was unambiguously helpful. It resulted in a massive chiropractic adjustment in our approach to our son's education (and by extension to his younger sibling's education). We went from a "buffet" approach (trying a little bit of everything) to a full on gifted approach - we do all the gifted stuff we can. And it works. DYS (and the summits) may be an option if you child tests highly enough (But you have to test to find out).

Haha, my DS took the test for the same program. Thank you for sharing your experience. I am really new in the forum but have already gotten help from parents like you who have had similar experience. This is a great support group. I do want my DS to get into the DYS program so we belong to a community where we can get more resources and support for my DS.

My point exactly :-). Thank you

After convincing my husband, we had my DS6 tested last Wednesday. He took the WISC-V test.

I knew the scores right after he took the test but wanted to confirm with the full report. I just received the full report today and he was found to be "profoundly gifted" at a FSIQ of 150.

We knew he was somewhat gifted but not sure at what level. We thought he was better in language arts and unsure about other areas. But the subtest results show that he was extremely high (he got the highest score you can get on this test) in visual spatial, the ability which would help him in math, science and engineering.

I am so glad that we had him take the test. We can now start the process of applying for DYS program so we can take the advantage of all the resources and support that we can get from the DYS. Hope he'll be accepted. So looking forward to attending the annual summit :-)

Great news for you.

Thank you! We are excited, but at the same time we are trying to figure out what is the best for him in terms of schooling (see my new post). So with the good news it comes with more challenges :-)
