[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They don't. Schools don't make diagnoses. They could do a series of reading test to determine whether or not your child has a specific learning disability in the area of reading. This testing may or may not include something like the CTOPP. If your child's potential disability is masked by a high IQ, the school will not see any problem and will not agree to test. They aren't going to test just because you ask them to. You need to show a need.[/quote] The fact that she reads on grade level despite being profoundly gifted isn't a need? I know the question sounds absurd but I am being serious. She's in AAP with kids who read at 8th+ grade levels and she reads on level (but her comprehension is above grade level). Is that not a need, that she isn't reading to her potential? [/quote]
