Private gifted evaluations are assessments conducted by private school psychologists or
educational specialists to determine a child’s intellectual, academic, or creative giftedness
These evaluations typically involve a battery of tests and observations to assess a child’s cognitive abilities and potential for advanced learning. Parents may seek private evaluations for various reasons, including identifying a child’s specific strengths, addressing their educational needs, or seeking placement in gifted programs or schools. It’s essential to consult with experts in the field to ensure that the evaluation is conducted accurately and ethically.
Benefits of Seeking a Private Gifted Evaluation for Your Child Include:
1. Individualized Assessment: Private evaluations can be tailored to the child's and their family's
specific needs and concerns, providing a more personalized assessment.
