An assessment for gifted intellectual ability can determine eligibility for specialized education programs.
More importantly, it can help you understand your child’s pattern of strengths and weaknesses.
Many gifted children have asynchronous or uneven development. It is common for intellectually gifted children to have advanced verbal and visual problem-solving abilities, but more age-typical processing speed or social development.
An assessment can give you a roadmap to your child’s abilities, allowing for more effective school programming and enrichment. For some children, being gifted isn’t easy. Advanced intellectual ability may co-exist with other learning and developmental challenges. Thorough assessment is key to understanding gifted children.
