[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's first grade.  Put it away for now.  Your DC will be in pool next year.  [/quote]

Thank you but this didnt answer my question.  Does he still have to take cogat?  is a referral still required?

You say he will be in pool but is that you assuming he will test well enough on cogat if he takes it?  I am trying to understand the process.  Does one score this high automatically qualify a child?  or are other pieces still necessary?  [/quote]

He will take the Cogat in second grade.  One score is enough to be in pool next year and with that NNAT score, he will be in pool, regardless of how he does in the Cogat.[/quote]

Thank you.  I found this forum trying to figure out what the score meant in terms of process.  Turns out I am a crap parent apparently because everyone seems to know this but me.  I dont even know what GBRS is -a term I just saw in reading other posts here.  I am gathering its something a teacher fills out.  Which makes me a little nervous.  My son has ADHD hyperactive type so in class behavior has been a challenging experience at times.[/quote]

There are plenty of ADHD kids in AAP.  Don't worry about it.

You're not clueless, you're normal.  This forum is mostly for crazy parents. [/quote]

hah thank you.  It is good to hear there are other ADHD kids in AAP.  I believe I actually have it myself and I did ok in school (honors etc) but i grew up kind of right before ADHD dx sort of took off.  I felt super bad about our struggle in kindergarten and was like "am I putting too much pressure on him, I dont want to be one of those insane parents around here that medicate their kids for performance" which as i understand it, happens not infrequently in NOVA.  But even my husband wound up filling out the form indicating he had it and my husband is way more chill than me.

It was the right call ultimately.  My son can actually finish a thought now and has a lot more self confidence.  And hes still my son.  I was afraid he would turn into a zombie.  Nope.

I just want him to be happy.  [/quote]
