[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks so much! This is useful. ‘On the cusp’ is a 123 NNAT and a 131 COGAT but also has an IEP for an LD. AART thinks that DC is a good case for ‘twice gifted’. [/quote]

Did you mention LD?  I did not mention ADHD but wish I had.  [/quote]

What are the pro/cons of mentioning ADHD in packet? Curious to know...[/quote]

The reason I think it might be a pro is that it suggests the overall intelligence could be higher than standardized tests and classroom participation are showing.  I didn't mention it because I didn't want my DC to be treated differently.  Also, DC is on ADHD meds, which helps some of the focus issues we dealt with before being diagnosed, so maybe it was a non issue this time.  However, I may mention it if I have to appeal.

Completely off topic but what if you suspect your child has ADHD but never evaluated? My child's pediatrician suggested that we maybe get an evaluation. DC is not currently having any issues in class so I have been on the fence about whether we really need to go down that rabbit hole. I am planning to schedule a WISC for appeal. Would it be a better idea to go ahead and do the whole ADHD workup so that the info can be included?[/quote]
