 What is Giftedness?

Intellectually gifted children have an ability to learn and retain new information at a much faster rate than peers of their same age. Some have multiple interests and take on various hobbies such as music, art, chess, math and science.  In any case, participation in an advanced/gifted program that challenges the student academically is an opportunity to further develop his abilities.  Research has shown that gifted children are more at-risk for adjustment problems, including emotional and social, than their non-gifted peers. But not all gifted children face problems such as these. Many connect with adults intellectually and expect to be treated with respect, like an adult.   Read more about Common Characteristics of the Gifted Child

Qualifying for the Academically Gifted Program (AGP)

Testing to qualify for the Academically Gifted Program involves an IQ test (such as the Wechsler Scales of Intelligence)  to determine if the student is truly intellectually gifted. A full scale IQ score of 130 or more, places a student in the gifted classification, which is the primary criteria for participation of the program in the state of Florida.  Child Testing offers at-home assessments, ensuring better chances for the student to perform well by reducing testing anxiety.  Parents will receive a comprehensive, analysis of your child’s strengths and weaknesses. Child Testing serves all Florida counties and cities including: the entire Tampa Bay area, Orlando, Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Panama City, Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm, Boca Raton and many more.
