We saw a private psychologist and got the scores immediately after the appointment, with the full write up following a few days later.

Can you please give the psychologist's name and the cost?

From reading other threads it sounds like the safest bet is to use GMU...

Good luck everyone.

Where did you do the WISC? Any recommendations other than GMU?

People seem to have mixed feelings, but I thought Dr. Diana Dahlgren was great. She administered the WISC to my DC last year and was very efficient. She's also really good about responding quickly if you email her.

I'd recommend Counseling and Assessment Practice of Fairfax: https://www.capfairfax.com/aap-gifted-assessment
Dr Nicole Beadles and her team are well qualified.

NNAT 145,

DRA 24, hoping additional testing will support the appeal.

What were the cogat sub scores? The 24 DRA is quite low for kids applying to AAP. If the cogat verbal score is also low, the committee probably thought your child couldn't handle AAP language arts. I would then focus on showing that your child can handle the language arts portion of AAP when you write your appeal.

The verbal score of COGAT is low but English is the second language in our household. The child was introduced to english in Pre-K. She is bilingual and is doing well on our native language as well.

Definitely appeal. The whole point of the NNAT in the first place was for ESOL kids, wasn't it? Surprised your kid did not get in.

That should make the appeal easier. I would emphasize that she is bilingual, perhaps include a work sample in her native language, and if you have anything showing good growth in English skills, add that. I would imagine her Quantitative and Nonverbal scores were quite high, so also give examples of why her needs in math and science can't be met in gen ed. I know they have a box to check for ESOL, but I wonder whether the AAP panel somehow didn't understand the ESOL status.

Thanks. Looks like the NNAT scores and non-verbal scores were completely overlooked this year.

But does the file reflect that it is her second language?!
