Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment Top 12 US testers to assess highly gifted children

Has anyone tested with Dr. James Webb? The one who 'wrote the book' on MisDiagnosis and Dual Diagnosis? I love his writing style, but am curious to hear how his 'people skills' are.

Thank you so much for posting this. I talked to her this morning. She is a wonderful person to talk to!! She was kind enough to give names and numbers of other Psychologists. She has an incredible amount of information. I really learned a lot from her.

In virginia, I am considering this guy:

Dr. John Wasserman, I think he worked with Nadia Webb, may still work with her. Does anyone have any good experience with him?

Sounds like he is way up there as far as experience with exactly what we need for our ds. Just have to scrap together the funds....Grinity, I don't think I saw him on your map.

If we do go with him, I can report back, but I can say I had an amazing conversation with him the other day - me detailing ds situation, him explaining what he does. Just really informative, genuine and knowledgeable. I can very easily see him really working well with ds and being able to really provide some info/insight on possible gt, possible ld.

He works through this group, which appears geared towards helping people navigate the 'system' in virginia, advocating for all kinds of kids (with gt and/or ld needs). Very interesting.

Tall Boys-

You're welcome!

Dr David Palmer
Laguna Beach, California

He wrote a book called "IQ Testing and Gifted Education". My son just got tested through him.

He is also recommended in the Hoagies website.

Does anyone know of someone near Buffalo, NY?

Although I've heard and have opinions about a lot of 'them' I certianly don't know them all! That's were you come in! Good Luck!

Yes, ma'am! I figured I might have just missed it...

We have decided to go for it and will write back if the Dr's work seems worthy of 'the big map'

Should this be a sticky??? Don't know how that works, just a suggestion.

What a great idea. No recommendations for Florida, though.
