[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not true. Parent referred kids don't need to have scores that have met the cut-off. All they need is a referral. However, if you want to say that all referred kids MUST have a WISC with the approved score, I agree. Too many kids are in AAP that have not shown (via some sort of test) that they belong. That needs to change.[/quote] I agree but would also add that the test scores in general (whether CogAt, FxAT, NNAT, or WISC) need to be raised -- and then strictly adhered to by the AAP committee. The major reason AAP is so bloated these days is because kids can attain the benchmark score pretty easily and it doesn't indicate giftedness. Raise the score cutoff and you'll get a much smaller group of kids who really need the program.[/quote]
