[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Sigh. With those scores he will likely get in on appeal. But...you don’t know if this kid is gifted." They are in the 2nd grade. No one knows if they are gifted whether they get in or not. [b]I stand behind the idea that not passing the screening means DC doesn't belong in the program because of "fit".[/b] I also stand behind the idea that what the OP is doing is helping their DC develop what they are good at in a way that the program never would.[/quote] You are placing an undue amount of faith in the screening process. There's no way that 5 minutes of reviewing a file without actually meeting or interacting with the kid in any way can tell committee members whether the child is a good "fit" for AAP. Also, AAP has quite a few kids with Autism who are even more factually and literally minded than OP's kid. They're doing fine in AAP but struggle with some of the creative sides, too. Do you think those kids should be excluded?[/quote]
