[quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thanks for all of these responses. (and I am glad I checked this thread after the apparently off-point response was removed).  Anyway, I am surprised by the responses bc very few are school recs and most are suggesting that I hVe my son evaluated, which I admit was not on my radar, but of course I am open to investigating - I want to do whatever I can to help my son to succeed to the best of his abilities. No teacher has ever suggested we get him tested, btw. At his conferences, the teachers always say he is doing "fine," and he is in the top reading and math groups. (Granted, as I alluded to in my first post, I don't think his teachers have spent a lot of time getting to know him.)

I would appreciate suggestions for testers - and what kind of testing should I be requesting?  When we had him tested in the beginning of third grade, it was just a WISC IV test - other than the large disparity between his processing speed score and his other scores, the tester didn't have any comment and didn' suggest any further testing. (We used Joel Adler, who my son liked very much, but he really just administers the test and gives you the results/report.)

Thanks again![/quote]
