[quote=Anonymous]Developmental pediatrician and/or a psychologist. An LCSW is practicing outside of their profession's scope if they are doing formalized assessments. Re: the "fake gifted" kids: IQ, achievement, and other skill-specific tests are normed by age, meaning your kids' scores are compared to other students their age (often down to the month e.g., 5yrs10months), so this is simply untrue. If they qualify for gifted (requires an IQ test) its because they qualify compared to same-aged peers, not based on grade level. Of course, there are ways to analyze the tests compared to grade level, but anyone who knows what they're doing will not do that unless there is a specific part of the referral question that needs to be addressed by that specific comparison (e.g., "Is Larlo reading on grade level?"), [/quote]
