Our Gifted Testing Services
As parents, we like to think that our children are ahead of the curve in the classroom and life. However, how many can honestly say that they know they’ve spotted signs or traits of giftedness in their son or daughter? In many instances, classroom teachers are the first to suggest that a child may be gifted because they have a large group of similar age kids to use as a comparison. Without such help, determining if a child is gifted may not be so easy but there are signs you can look for including:
- Quick learning with little to no instructions needed
- An ability to recall information quickly and clearly
- Using grammar and speech advanced for his/her age
- Preferring problem-solving exercises and puzzles rather than outdoor play
- Tending to daydream quite often
- A tendency to ask probing questions
Gifted evaluations involve obtaining a bit of background about your child, getting to know your child so that he or she feels comfortable in the office and then completing an individually administered intelligence test that can take about 45 to 90 minutes. The assessment is followed up by verbal feedback and a written report of the results.
