REFERRAL FORMS FOR GIFTED TESTING

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Although certain services are described, the individual child is very important. If a child does not “qualify” for a certain type of program, every effort will be made to encourage and make accommodations for that child within the regular classroom setting.

Teacher recommendations are not used to exclude from services a student who would otherwise be eligible for services in the superior cognitive and specific academic areas.
