Intelligence Quotient

While many students are in their element at school, some struggle very hard to earn their grades while others just appear bored and uninterested in learning. Psychological testing can help parents know more about their children’s educational experience, including:

  • How they learn and retain information best
  • Whether they are gifted and talented
  • Why they may be under-performing
  • If they are in the right grade

GIFTED & TALENTED

Have you noticed that your child is particularly idealistic or a perfectionist? Does he or she find certain subjects or concepts very simple while his or her peers seem to struggle? If the answer is “yes,” your child may be eligible for Gifted and Talented (GT) classes. GT students are children or youth who perform at (or exhibit potential for performing at) an extraordinarily high level of achievement.

They usually excel in one or more of the following areas:

  • Intelligence
  • Leadership
  • Creative Thinking
  • Specific Academic Ability
  • Visual/Performing Arts

Because GT students usually become bored with their grade-level work, most schools place these bright youth in advanced programs so they can fulfill their academic potential. If your school district has a waiting list for advanced-placement testing, consider testing at The Center to get your child in the right class for their capabilities.
