[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is shy and quiet.

Wondered how the AART could ever feel my child was gifted if they never spoke in class or volunteered anything.  I even asked my child - do you ever talk or raise your hand when the AART is in the class - answer was always no.  Felt that a low GBRS was in the cards and very little support for AAP was in the cards.

Once test scores came back and supported AAP, suddenly my child told me he was getting pulled out of class by the AART with other kids.

Got into AAP (we didn't do anything but fill out the patient questionnaire).  [/quote]

Unfortunately, that wasn't the case for us. We are in a similar situation with a shy child but strong scores. However, no effort (that I know of) was made to pull DS out (even after the strong scores) and at least give him a chance at a more personal setting. The result? A low GBRS and no AAP eligibility this year.[/quote]

Are you considering WISC? High WISC seems outweigh low GBRS in this situation.[/quote]

Yes, we just took the WISC and the scores are also very strong (99.7%), so we are appealing, hoping that the low GBRS will be overshadowed by the WISC scores. Do you think that we have a chance on appeal? [/quote]
