[quote=Anonymous]We just went through this last year, too.  We had our child tested with a private psychologist on the recommendation of her teacher, and figured we would decide based on her scores whether or not to pursue AAP placement.

Her scores were not off the charts, but definitely high enough for us to proceed with the process.  We had the teacher at her previous school fill out the GBRS, submitted one or two work samples, and filled out the parent questionnaire.

When we arrived back in the area, we stopped at the school to register her, and had set up the appointment with the AAP office for the following day.  While the intake woman was a bit off-putting, we made sure that everything was in order.

We received the letter advising her acceptance about a week and a half later -- ironically it arrived on the day AFTER it said we had to let them know if we wanted her in the program (wth?).  Our base school is a center, so it didn't change much except which class room she was in, but I am glad I went through the effort to spare her yet another transition in January (if we had waited for the regularly-scheduled testing for new FCPS students).[/quote]
