[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought DS was gifted. He taught himself how to play chess at age 4. He could add and subtract double digits in his head at also at 4. He taught himself how to multiply and divide in kindergarten. He could easily find patterns in number sequences and sports plays. He’s now 10 and definitely not gifted. He is in a gifted magnet program but he doesn’t focus. He misses so much instruction because he seems zoned out. He makes careless mistakes in math, especially with word problems. He did really well on the CoGat but abysmal on the MAP tests. So kids may seem bright early but the rest of the kids catch up and suddenly they are no longer outliers. [/quote] I would have him evaluated for ADHD. Something isn’t right here.[/quote]
