TESTING
IS MY CHILD GIFTED?
Gifted assessments are administered to evaluate a child's intellectual ability.
​
If you believe that your child may be gifted, a test will allow you to identify their specific learning style, including their areas of strength. This can aid parents in becoming advocates for their children's education and learning style. Gifted testing is also beneficial for parents looking to place their child in a gifted program or curriculum that can be offered in certain schools.
