[quote=Anonymous]We took our DD to a specialist for evaluation - the private school she attends did not ask us to, but we did it on our own based on teacher's input regarding DD's outbursts in class and other behavioral issues such as constantly correcting peers and difficulty transitioning (and shouting behavior that would result from other scenario).

The psychologist has given us a detailed report that indicates that DD is highly gifted, but it also uses words like "at risk" for "anxiety disorder" or "obsessive compulsive" disorder based on DD's difficulty transitioning between tasks and her "rigid" way of thinking about certain things.

Is there any benefit or harm in sharing such a report with her school?  The psychologist also prepared a separate list of recommendations that we could give (alone and separate from the report) to the school.  The recommendations are fairly benign and are things like: make eye contact with her before you talk to her; tell her in advance what is going on so she can transition; use code word to help her settle down and control outbursts, etc.

DD is in K and attends a traditional private school (non-progressive).[/quote]
