[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will add something to clarify what the PP said.  If you believe that your child belongs in the AAP program, do not wait for the CogAT scores to come home.  Do a parent referral (and ahead of that, collate samples of work) anyway.[/quote]

+ 1.  OP.  Not sure how old your kid(s) are but as this pp said, collect work samples as a matter of course and notate when/what/how it was done.  For instance, my kid used to draw a lot from age 2 or 3. Most of it would look abstract and really cool.  I once asked him to explain how/what he was doing and came to find out that he's translating whatever he thinks into art.  Something along the lines of "I threw the ball at John" gets a fuzzy line with a brown oval to represent the ball.  "The ball hit Johnny". a fallen figure;  "other kids came running" - a bunch of walking, flying, running objects that look like birds..  etc.  before you know it, an entire event is now a picture that looked really cool.  We submitted a couple of those.  Same kid also developed a board game with rules at 5.  We included that.  Nothing is too insignificant.[/quote]
