[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]15:50, I REALLY like you! :) Also, to chime in on the private psychologist testing, I have a different perspective to offer. My DD attended private school in 1st grade. For various reasons, we decided to move her either to FCPS or to another private school for 2nd grade. We had a private psych. administer the WISC-IV to her in the winter during 1st grade b/c it was needed for the private school application. In the end, we sent her to FCPS for 2nd grade, where she took the NNAT and CogAT like all 2nd graders. Her scores/percentiles were almost exactly the same as on the WISC. There was no inflation on her WISC scores. And she was in the screening pool based on her NNAT and CogAT scores & is now in the Center. I have to say that the attitude of some parents (or maybe just one who keeps posting?) that any parent who refers their child is just pushing for something the child isn't qualified for is really obnoxious. Everything is not as black and white as a couple of test scores. I'm referring my child because the AAP specialist AND the classroom teacher both called me and told me to. He missed the pool by only a few points and they wanted to make sure we were submitting a referral because they feel strongly that he should be in the Center. I specifically told them I didn't want to push him into something if it would not be a good fit, and they both said he should definitely be referred. There is a reason the referral process exists. [/quote] Interesting dialogue. BUT . . . you state your child tested the same on WISC as COGaT and NNAT2, AND you say she was in the screening pool BUT you're referring her. Why would you refer a child already in the pool? [/quote] this person is talking about two of her/his children. Do not you see? Girl (first paragraph) and boy (second)[/quote]
