[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think my son is gifted, but he has incredible executive function skills and loves to work hard. He is a rising second grader and said school was too boring last year and he hopes it is harder next year. Over the summer, he wanted to learn 2nd and 3rd grade math, so we're currently on multiplication and division. 
I really feel like he would benefit from being in the AAP program, though his NNAT score was just around 120. What are the chances that a child that is not actually gifted, but interested in working hard and learning, can be placed in the AAP program? My older daughter has learning disabilities, so this is all new to me.

Wait and see what his cogat score is--it could be considerably higher.  His NNAT would be too low to qualify if it's his highest, but mid to high 120s plus really good teacher ratings can sometimes get in.  Also there are level III services that can provide advanced options within a school if he doesn't qualify for the AAP center.[/quote]
