[quote=Anonymous]Our DD is extraordinarily smart (tested as "gifted" at Child Find in communication) with academics but has issues socially, to the point that her preschool teacher recommended having her tested at Child Find.  Our out brief isn't until next week but it is pretty clear that she won't be found having a significant delay that will provide her with county support.  With that said, there are still pretty major concerns that we, her parents, and the social worker at CF have agreed exists.  Our DD is great with adults and prefers talking with them but does very poorly with her peers.  I am worried because she has isolated herself at preschool and in other social settings - she really has a hard time connecting with other children.   So now we are trying to figure out what to do next.   So here are my questions:
- are there any recommendations for pre-schools in the Fairfax Station/ Burke area for this type of child (a school where the teachers will get down on the floor and help my DD to engage with other children on a continuous basis)?
- can anyone recommend a developmental pediatrician in the Fairfax/Fairfax Station area that works with gifted children?

Any help/recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance![/quote]
