[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issues have nothing to do with her school performance.  I just want to find a professional who can evaluate her and confirm or rule out this possibility.  Thanks.[/quote]

It's not like having blue eyes or a hitchhiker's thumb. Your child's personality is based on an innumerable number of factors. Measurements of intelligence are rough at best.  Even for kids who are "gifted," there's no prescribed way of doing things. They all have different issues, just like non-gifted kids.  If you think you might respond differently to your child if you knew s/he was gifted, try responding that way and see if it helps. If it doesn't help, try something else.

I feel like you maybe want the satisfaction of the "gifted" title. That's the only reason why you really need a private IQ/gifted eval if you're not concerned with academic services. If your child has psychological issues, you should have him seen by a professional, but there's no need for a "gifted" agenda. Just describe the issues and see what the person recommends. [/quote]
