[quote=Anonymous]There is a big difference between advocating for your child by putting together a strong package and/or appealing the AAP selection criteria and pushing the child so hard that they can not have a normal childhood. We are not talking about the parents spending thousands of dollars, and countless hours preping the child for the CogAT. The AAP selection process does pretty well, and probably gets it right 90% of the time. However, they are people and are not perfect. I am the first to admit I am biased in regards to my DD, but I admit the biases. I did have to do a parental referral. (her test scores were about 120) I worked with the 2nd grade teacher and AAP teacher...they encouraged me to proceed with the AAP parental referral. DD got a 15 on the GBRS. At year one in the AAP center, she is doing fine. The workload is not to much, and she is reading at a middle school level.[/quote]
