[quote=Anonymous]Has anyone else seen more parent referrals being for girls? At our school I have seen this, just among the families I know. It makes sense because girls are more verbal, and NNAT is based more on perceptual reasoning, and FxAT has just one verbal component. For FxAT the composite needs to meet the benchmark, but only 1/3 of the test (verbal) plays to what are stereotypically girls' strengths and 2/3 (nonverbal and math) plays to what are stereotypically boys' strengths. In my child's AAP class there are five more boys than girls. If parent referrals are eliminated, the ratio may be even more skewed. Does anyone know of a gender breakdown of referrals vs. in-pool, and/or the number of AAP girls vs. boys? [/quote]
