[quote=Anonymous]This is #17 on the list reporting.  My DD was found eligible and so will attend the center for 3rd grade.

As encouragement to anyone whose appeal was denied, my DS was found ineligible (was not in the pool as he freezes like a deer in the headlights during group testing) after a parent referral.  He is very sensitive and shy.  I waited a year for him to gain confidence, but the school he was attending was socially harsh in many ways and he did not come out of his shell.  We happened to move to a different area nearby, and the school was warm and welcoming and he started to blossom.  He was noticed by the AAP coordinator in a literature class.  He took the WISC and scored in very superior range.  I did another parent referral and this time he was found eligible.  He has totally come out of his shell and come alive in the most amazing way in the AAP classroom and gets straight A's.  He was bored in the general ed class and was coasting along and he felt frustrated with those of his peers there who didn't seem excited about learning.  He entered AAP in 5th grade, and has come alive and is joyful.  I think the WISC helped, but also the teachers at his new school took an interest in him and got to know him and took the time to notice his encyclopedic knowledge of his favored subjects. You know your child and keep seeking the best possible educational environment.  It may take some time for the "seed" to mature and also to find the optimal "soil" for that special seed to grow.
