Some elementary schools will allow students who do not qualify as “gifted” to enroll in gifted classes if the school has an insufficient number of gifted students to justify a teacher. We will also discuss your child’s strengths and weaknesses, school options and any other observations I make. I will let you know if your child qualifies for a gifted program. I score the test immediately and then discuss the results with you. Typically, 4 and 5 year olds take less time than older children. That leaves at least 25 minutes for a discussion with parents. We could argue about the IQ test being the only criterion for qualification, but we have to play by the rules.Īn entire evaluation and discussion of results takes about 75 minutes.The actual testing takes from 40-50 minutes. Your 5 year old may be reading at a 7 year old level, but this is irrelevant to qualifying for the gifted program.
Please understand that academic skills are not assessed by an IQ test. The Wechsler tests are considered the “gold standard” for individual IQ tests. I administer the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-V) to children 6 and older and the Wechsler Primary & Preschool Intelligence Scale (WPPSI-IV) to 4 and 5 year olds. It may be more hands-on, experiential, and emphasize critical thinking The gifted curriculum is not necessarily accelerated.
