Subject: When do NNAT scores typically come out for kids who took it in Nov.?
I have done this twice and I can tell you that I would never leave it to the school to prepare everything. Both DCs were in the pool, but I also did the parent questionaire, put in work samples AND included a WISC with the initial packet. i wanted there to be no doubt that my DC needed this program.
Others might say to save the WISC, but why. I didn't want to appeal, I wanted them to be accepted.

"new information"

The parent referral form is not that difficult. It only takes a few minutes to complete.
If you read the replies- you would know that some parents who are close to the benchmark on NNAT and find out the cogat is not good would NOT even go through the whole process. It's not just one supposed simple sheet- it's the whole packet.
No, it's not. It's one sheet. The referral is a single sheet of paper. Save "the whole packet" for the appeal, if it is even necessary.
The appeal needs to have new information -- and that would be provided by "the whole packet."
No- you don't follow that if your child is borderline for NNAT and bombs Cogat, you would NOT submit at all. So it's not just the referral, it's the questionnaire and samples and references. Most parents who truly are considering AAP would do all of the above (so please don't reply with how these are all optional). So- it's not just one sheet, it's submitting all of the parts to have your child considered for AAP. And having the coagt scores would really help a lot of parents determine whether or not to bother. And yes, it is time and effort to even doing this and then see cores and decide not to.
Well, that's a choice. Not a smart choice, but a choice just the same.
A smarter choice would be to just do a referral, and then prepare to appeal with new information (with samples and references), and perhaps a WISC score.
