[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a long shot but I went ahead and submitted a parent referral for my son. He exhibits several characteristics of giftedness, but also has sensory integration disorder. He’s currently on a 504. I submitted the 504 with the referral. His verbal and quantitative CoGAT scores were mediocre; his nonverbal was the best. His iready test in reading was mostly on grade level, but he did score above grade level in comprehension. I’m surprised by his low verbal score.  My hunch is he may be twice exceptional. Should I plan to get a WISC? Do we have any shot at all?[/quote]

I think that, given that you have all these questions about his abilities, diagnosis and potential, you should get a full eval, which will include the WISC, from someone who is good at teasing out kids who are complex.  If the WISC supports the idea of AAP placement, then go ahead and submit it.   The psychologist should be willing to give you a page with just test results that you can attach to an appeal, although of course you'll probably want to share the entire report with the school.

If you have a kid who you suspect has repeatedly not tested up below their potential, then I wouldn't have the test done at a university, I'd want someone with a lot of experience with special needs kids and a good reputation.  [/quote]
