What if My Child Does Not Qualify?
We encourage children to be tested at 2
nd
grade and higher due to the fact that it has been demonstrated that they are able to show their strengths on testing when they are 7 or older.
Your child can re-test in one year, as it could be that they were not mature enough to take the test.Your child may be a very high achiever (teacher pleaser, organized, task driven, bright)Slide4
