Is your child gifted??

Are you wondering if your child is gifted?  Are you curious about how to find out if they qualify for extra gifted support?

The first step of determining if your child meets the gifted requirements is to have your school counselor administer a gifted screening tests.  This test consists of many different types of questions and usually lasts about 45 minutes.  If your child passes that test, they will qualify for further testing.  If your child does not pass this first test, as a parent, you are allowed to request further testing.

Next, the school or district psychologist will administer further testing with your child.  At that time, they will determine if your child meets the criteria for gifted classes.

Depending on the school district, if your child qualifies for gifted, they may attend a gifted classes with other children at the same intellectual level, once or twice a week.  During this class, your child will take on challenges that they wouldn't necessarily get in the classroom.

If your child does not qualify for gifted classes, you may have them retested a year later and continue that until they pass or you see fit.

Best of luck,
